Obs - Cette espece est assez voisine du L. parvifolium Griseb., dont elle se rapproche surtout par la forme des feuilles, la capsule et les graines. Elle s'en eloigne par la longueur de petioles et des pedicelles floraux. Elle se rapproche aussi du L. hydrophyllum Griseb., dont elle se distingue surtout par les feuilles coriaces, la capsule allongee et les graines finement puberulentes. Il est bon de remarquer que l'etude de la corolle des echantillons secs de Limnanthemum est tres difficile sinon impossible. Obs - This species is rather close to L. parvifolium Griseb., which it approaches especially by the form of the leaves, capsule and seeds. It differs by the length of petioles and floral pedicels. It also approaches L. hydrophyllum Griseb., from which it is distinguished especially by the leathery leaves, the elongated capsule, and the finely puberulent seeds. It worth remarking that the study of the corolla of dry samples of Limnanthemum is very difficult if not impossible.
