Taxonomic notes: This species was formerly treated as a valid species by Mori in Mori & Prance (1979) but is now treated as a synonym of Gustavia occidentalis (see that species page for a more detailed discussion of this change).
Etymology: The specific epithet refers to the solitary flowers arising from the axils of the leaves or from the leaf scars just below the leaves.
