Interesting. Only a couple of real surprises at first glance: C. australis, related to C. solaris rather than C. humilis; and C. dealbata, related to C. echinoides and C. coquimbana rather than C. cinerea. I guess putting ssp tenuissima under C. humilis is significant, not that it hasn't been there before.
