H. cymbiformis var. obtusa is closely related to H. pilifera but it may be distinguished from H. pilifera by the smooth leaves; the leaf-face is concave in the upper half and rounded in the lower part; leaf-tips are obtuse and pellucid, the pellucid part irregularly separated from the lower green. H. pilifera has leaves with toothed margins and keel and a distinct separation between the pellucid area and the lower green. From: Scott, CL. 1985.
