Should be assigned to C. formosa which is not available as an entry on iNat.

White-anthered, 20-stamen specimens of series Pruinosae require further taxonomic investigation to determine how many (if any) “good” species are present. Flowering and leaf material of this specimen are a better fit for C. formosa than C. cognata, the latter of which should have smaller flowers (generally less than 2 cm diameter) and smaller leaves (3:5 to 5.5 cm long). C. cognata should also be widest near the leaf base (whereas C. formosa is widest near the middle.
