Note Hyptis savannarumn is closely related to H. conferta and can be confused with it, especially with the narrow-leaved forms of the latter. However, the larger flowers and more spherical capitula, as well as the glabrous bracts of H. savan- narum provide characters that easily distinguish it from H. conferta.
