This species is closely related to K. discigera Finet & Gagnepain, which has 
triangular appendages on the carpels, petals 1.7-2.5 cm. long and 1.2 cm. broad, 
Shorter, non-bracteolate peduncles and larger leaves; from all the other species it 
differs in its discoid stigma. "The specimens from Yunnan have generally broader, 
elliptic to elliptic-oblong leaves.
