This species bears a striking resemblance to Dipholis salicifolia; but the latter dries 
a much darker colour, its leaves are much more attenuated downwards, and its flowers 
are smaller on shorter pedicels, and the ovary is quite glabrous. It is not quite certain 
that Hahn’s fruiting specimens are the same species as Botteri’s, which are only in 
flower.
