Notes:
Puff & Buchner (1994) considered this species closely related to Danais cernua, which they distinguished mainly by seed morphology. They found no information on the habitat in which Danais distinctinervia has been found. This species is generally characterized by small triangular stipules, medium-sized leaves, mostly axillary (but also terminal, see type specimen image) cymose inflorescences, short calyx lobes and a rather short corolla, and medium-sized fruits.
