This species seems doubtfully distinct from T. semitriloba. 1 have 

 placed under this species those forms having a denser and more velvety 

 pubescence and the serrations of the leaves irregular, the longer teeth 

 oblong, blunt and tending to be glandular tipped. I can see no constant 

 difference in the fruit. T. semitriloba is described as having the prickles 

 of the fruit glabrous, but in all the specimens examined the prickles are 

 supplied with retrorse hairs (Smith, Guatam. 2023; Curtiss, Fla. 404, 

 Garber, Fla.; Cuba, Wr. 43; Sintenis, Porto E. 17; Eggers, St. Thomas, 

 198).
