(2002) , reports in Algeria referring to the name C. trichomanis auct. have been attributed to C. azurea . However, considering that the concept of C. trichomanis often encompasses C. muelleriana and potentially other species, the presence and distribution in Algeria of this complex of species is doubtful.
