Discussion:
This species is doubtless closely associated with the S. macrostachya complex but differs from it, as well as most of its relatives, by the densely pubescent inner surfaces of the calyx segments. Two other species, S. glaziouiana from the same general area of Brazil and S. pickelii, have the calyx pubescent within but in these species the gynoecium is glabrous.
