A hybrid between C. inflatus (syn C. hirsutus Lam.) and C. monspeliensis which has been found wild in Portugal and also raised in gardens. It is intermediate between the parents, the leaves being less hairy than in C. inflatus and ovate-lanceolate in shape. Abnormal forms which lack stamens have been reported.
