This species is nearly related to /. martiniccnsis, Mey., 

 but it is at once distinguished by its very much larger 

 flowers, and by the sepals not being decurrent at the base. 

 It also appears to be allied to /. campcslris, Meissn., /. 

 prostrata, Meissn., and /. Sclloi, Meissn. In the Flora 

 Jjrasiliensis, Meissner placed it as a variety of Aniseia 

 ccrnua, Mor., which is a very different plant, with flowers 

 that are not one quarter the size of those of the present 

 species ; the figure, too, of Aniseia ccrnua given in the 

 Flora Brasiliensis, is totally different from the true plant 

 of Moricand, and probably represents Aniseia nitcns, Chois 

 (X. E. Brown).
