(Leguminosae, Mimosoideae), is described from the northern end of the Cauca Valley, in the department of Risaralda, in western Colombia, where it is known locally as parasiempre. It has a coiled fruit and resembles the Venezuelan species C. eurycyclum Barneby & J. W. Grimes, but differs in having fewer and broader leaflets and broader fruits.
