Notas
:
This species is characterized by its tree habit, puberulous to pilosulous pubescence, medium-sized to somewhat small (for Simira), shortly petiolate, oblanceolate leaves with rather abruptly truncate to cordate bases, pyramidal to rounded several-flowered inflorescences, 5-merous flowers, and subglobose woody capsules 3.5--4 cm in diameter. The specimens characteristically dry with a yellowish brown color. The calyx limb is 1.2-1.5 mm long, and shallowly lobed, with the lobed broadly rounded. This species is poorly known, and its mature corollas have not yet been seen. Simira cesariana is generally similar to Simira hirsuta, and vegetatively it is similar in aspect to Calycophyllum candidissimum.
