The species grows in association with Grewia flavescens Jussieu (1804: 91), Prosopis juliflora (Sw.) Candolle. (1825: 447), Euphorbia hirta Linnaeus. (1753: 454), Dactyloctenium aegyptium (L.) Willdenow (1809: 1029), Blepharis repens (Vahl) Roth (1821: 321), Desmostachya bipinnata (L.) Stapf (1900: 632), Vicoa indica (L.) Candolle. (1834: 10). We have collected this species from Chambal ravines i.e. Kuthiyana village of Beerpur forest range of Madhya Pradesh, India N26°41’35.9844” E77°5’51.5328”, at an altitude of 152 m asl.</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/03F187CBDA23A478FADEFD0CFAFB57F6	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

Both species share some morphological similarities, i.e. minute caducous stipules, raceme terminal, size of the pod, standard petal with notch, number of seeds in the pod, colour of mature pod. Nevertheless C. montana and C. albida can be distinguished from each other by respectively prostrate and ascending habit vs erect and procumbent habit; leaves narrow elliptic to oblanceolate vs linear oblong-lanceolate; Stipule present vs stipule absent; leaves dimorphic vs leaves monomorphic; inflorescence 5–10 flowered and 8–10 cm long vs inflorescence with 20–25 flowers and 10–15 cm long; standard petal suborbicular, no hairs on back and apex vs standard petal obovate-oblong, hairs on back and apex; standard petal apex notched vs standard petal rounded; callosite lamelliformis vs callosite ridged; keel twisted above the middle vs keel twisted below the middle; pod colour black vs pod colour brown; number of seed per pod 4–8 vs number of seed per pod 8–10; style hair in single row and arranged spirally vs style hair in single row, arranged in whorl.</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/03F187CBDA27A47CFADEFBFEFC0F55E0	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.
