discussion
Remarks. Inger & Marx (1965) reported eight unnumbered specimens from Singapore deposited at ZMH and collected by Schwinghammer in 1909. However, they doubted the specimens originated from Singapore as no additional specimens were ever reported and because C. linnaei was commonly sold. Presently, C. linnaei is only known from Java and Bangka (Wallach et al. 2014). de Lang (2017) mentioned that C. linnaei has also been erroneously reported from Borneo, Sulawesi, and Sumatra. LKCNHM & NHMUK Museum specimens. No specimens.

Range & habitat
C. linnaei is found throughout the island of Java, but its occurrence elsewhere in Indonesia is uncertain.
In human culture
The specific name, linnaei, is in honor of Swedish botanist Carl Linné, better known as Linnaeus, who invented the binomial nomenclature system for naming species.
