Capnophyllum leiocarpon differs from C. africanum and C. macrocarpum in the absence of tubercles on the ribs of both the ovaries and fruit. It can be distinguished from C. lutzeyeri by the longer styles of the mature fruit that become reflexed far beyond the base of the stylopodium, and the only very slightly concave commissural surfaces of the mericarps.
