Taxonomy
Knema uliginosa is related to K. intermedia, which differs in the more pronounced mammillate staminal disc, more distinctly reticulate leaves, and fruits with an easily rubbed off scurfy indumentum, and also to K. plumulosa which differs in the more conspicuous indumentum on twigs and leaves. Knema uliginosa may resemble K latericia, which differs in the cracking and flaking bark of the older twigs; compare also K. korthalsii.
