This species seems most nearly related to L. conferta C. B. Clarke, which differs 

 in its straight, undivided branches, in its larger, ternate leaves with the veins 

 diverging at right angles, and in its many-flowered cymes on peduncles about 10 

 cm. long. The flowers of C. conferta are not known and may show further differences.
