Notes:
This species of glabrous shrubs and small trees is characterized by medium-sized leaves that lack domatia; short deltate to rounded stipules that are united around the stem into a rather reduced sheath; terminal, cymose or fasiculate, ebracteate, several-flowered inflorescences with the flowers usually in groups of two or three; well developed calyx limb with narrow, usually rather long lobes; and medium-sized corollas. Coussarea macrocalyx is similar to Coussarea enneantha of Central America and and northwestern Colombia, and Coussarea insolita of central Colombia. Coussarea macrocalyx is also similar in general to Coussarea spiciformis, which is pilosulous to hirtellous and has longer corollas.
