== ''[[Carlephyton diegonse]]'' ==
This species is different to the other because its male and female zones on the spadix are directly superimposed, there are no bisexual flowers and the top of the spadix is made of sterile male flowers. The lead is pale green and shortly decurrent on the petiole. It likes a pH of 5.4-5.8 and can be found growing with ''[[Colletogyne perrieri]]'' and ''C. diegoense''

''
== [[Carlephyton glaucophyllum]] ==
''
This species is different because it has some bisexual flowers present concurrent to the female flowers. It has a short appendix and the leaf is [[glaucous]]. Alt 150-200 m, Flowering in December.
Grows in Clusters. Berries possibly yellowish.

== ''[[Carlephyton madagascariense]]'' ==

This species is different in that it has some [[bisexual]] flowers inbetween the male and female zones of the spadix. The apex of the [[Spadix]] can be either [[sterile]] or not. Grows in clusters.
