(2002). World Checklist and Bibliography of Araceae (and Acoraceae): 1-560. The Board of Trustees of the Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew.

The plants are usually found in shaded bogs and are notoriously difficult to cultivate. One of the species, C. kressii is currently believed to be extinct.Bown, Demi (2000). Aroids: Plants of the Arum Family. Timber Press. {{ISBN|0-88192-485-7}}.
