Sequence comparison for the ITS region between C. gracilistipitata (HKAS 147012) and C. gracilistipitata (HKAS 129662) showed a 0.66% differences (3/452 bp, excluding gaps), thus we considered them as the same species.</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/03A25E48711A166FA49EFF05FE87FBF6	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.
