Notes

Similar to, and sympatric with, N. intertexta; also similar to N. paradoxiclara, but the two are wholly allopatric with no signs of intergradation. Differentiated from both similar species in having plain white corollas; also differentiated from N. intertexta in having anthers that reach but do not exceed corolla tips, and differentiated from N. paradoxiclara in having smaller corolla lobes that may or may not exceed all calyx lobes. See Phytotaxa 91(2):27-38 (2013) for original description.
