Nota. Ex synonymia speciei supra descripta una cum N. Boschiana hanc parum intelligi 

 satis constat. Foliorum structura et venis, ascidii figura et colore, operculi duobus processibus, 

 fructu et serainibus maximis, facillime a ceteris distinguitur. Reinwardtii speciraina N. maximae 

 in Herb. Kew. asservata atque specimina N. Curtisii Mast, et viva et exsiccata sine ullo dubio 

 ad unara eandemque speciem pertinent. Descriptio Reinwardtii forsan nimis brevis sed accurata 

 et omnino definita est.
