Sheath fibers thin (usually <0.5 mm diameter), flimsy, loosely woven, free and greatly elongate at the apices (C. crinita). C. Sheath fibers stout (usually>1 mm diameter), woody, loosely (rarely closely) woven, ± joined or briefly free at the apices (C. miraguama). D. Sheath fibers stout (usually>1 mm diameter), woody, loosely woven, the inner and outer layer combining at the apices to form erect, spine-like fibers (C. salvatoris).
