This species found in the herbal garden at Kottakkal Aryavaidyasala (Kerala, India). The glabrous ovary brings the species under Sects. Australis (Jablonszky) and Nanopetalum (Hassk.). The persistent calyx, sessile male flowers and non-striated capsules are similar to C. stipitatus,[4] but differs from C. stipitatus with its glabrous ovary. The species differs from C. travencorensis in several details. The species name is after P. Sankunni Varier, the founder of Arya Vaidya Sala, Kottakkal.[5]
