Note — Desmopsis trunciflora is very well characterized among the species from Mexico by a dense indument of erect, long-persisting hairs on most parts of the plant. In the youngest leaves this indument is almost silvery coloured. In addition, the relatively low number of monocarps (c. 5) are borne on short stipes (2–3 mm long).
