The Dumerilia paniculata of DeCandolle is distinguished from 

 this species by the lobes of its leaves being longer, somewhat 

 acute, and the margin more deeply and abruptly crenated, and 

 finally by the trifid ligulate lip of the corolla, which in this is 

 terminated by three small teeth only.
