Notes
This species differs from B. calyptrocalyx in the smaller flowers, the divided calyx that is not circumscissile and the more densely flowered inflorescence. It differs from B. confusa in the larger leaves with thicker petioles, the shorter pedicels and the puberulous inflorescence rachis. It is large-leaved in comparison to many species of Barringtonia.
