According to Phipps (1988), C. flava is rare or extinct, described from cultivation in the UK and otherwise known from few collections, e.g. Sargent collections from Augusta and Chattahoochee (at K). It has been described as having 20 stamens (Phipps 1988), 10 stamens (Phipps & Dvorsky 2007), or 13-16 stamens (FNA, vol. 9). Ward (2009) treats C. flava as frequent in the panhandle and northern Florida (with C. pulcherrima in synonymy).
