Notes:
This species is characterized by its slender habit with relatively small narrow leaves, stipules with well developed aristas, short, generally terminal, few-flowered inflorescences with filiform peduncles and pedicels, apparently small white corollas with acute lobes, and subglobose to oblate somewhat small fruits. The mature flowers apparently have not yet been documented. Faramea myrticifolia is similar to Faramea cobana of northern Central America, has usually axillary inflorescences and a habitat at higher elevations. These species were separated based on their apparent morphological differences and their disjunct distributions by Lorence et al. (2012). Faramea myrticifolia is also similar to Faramea capulifolia, with solitary terminal flowers subtended by a pair of foliaceous bracts.
