COMMENTS
Groutiella tuberculata is easy to be recognized for its consistently papillose basal leaf cells. Groutiella tomentosa is the other species of the genus with papillose basal leaf cells. The differences between them provided in the discussion of G. tomentosa. G. husnotii and G. macrorrhyncha are similar to G. tuberculata in having lanceolate and cripate leaves, however, they have smooth basal leaf cells, while, G. husnotii differs in a longer limbidia extending to 2/3 or more of leaf length, and G. macrorrhyncha differs in stoutly excurrent costa.
