It is compared with four morphologically similar species S. philippinensis, S. suaveolens, S. ovata subsp. fasciculata and S. scandens. It differs from the preceding species by both leaf surfaces being pubescent and full of pustules, stamens 14-18, filaments lower half pubescent, upper half sparsely pubescent or glabrous, androgynophores ca. 1 mm long, lower half glabrous, upper half tomentose, gynophores and ovary with densely white hairs.
