It is also similar to L. camlamensis V.S.Dang & Naiki which was described from Hon Ba Nature Reserve in Khanh Hoa Province, but differs from the latter in having smaller leaves (7–9 × 1.5–2.5 cm vs. 9–12 × 2–4 cm), more secondary veins (8–9 on each side of midrib vs. 7–8 on each side of midrib), shorter petioles (4–5 mm long vs. 5–8 mm long), bracts 4–5 mm long (vs. inconspicuous), white (vs. orange) when ripe, and fruits with 6 (vs. 4) pyrenes.
