Key to all species may be difficult but comparison with the common and obviously similar sp. L. speciosa is as below. Bark smooth in speciosa and deeply cracked in tomemtosa Leaves elliptic, petiolate in speciosa and lanceolate, sessile in tomentosa; glabrous beneath in speciosa and tomentose in tomentosa. Calyx lobes shorter than tube in speciosa and longer than tube in tomentosa. Calyx not ribbed in speciosa and 12 ribbed in tomentosa. Though the flower colours vary, but they may be overlapping hence it is not a key character. Regards,
