C. vendae is most closely related to Combretum nelsonii Dummer which occurs on the Makgabeng, Waterberg and Wolkberg, being both morphologically alike and occupying similar ecological niches. Within the Soutpansberg the C. vendae's nearest allies are Combretum kraussii and Combretum erythrophyllum. Within the Soutpansberg C. vendae is most closely related to C. kraussii. It differs from C. kraussii by having markedly raised net veining along the lower leaf surface and having scales on the upper leave surface that can be seen when the leaf is bent leaving a marked waxy white line. This character gives the leave a dull appearance were C. kraussii seen from a distance appears shiny glossy. Its leaves are also more leathery than C. kraussii. Nowhere in the distribution of C. vendae do the two species occur sympatrically. C. kraussii is confined to the higher rainfall regions and almost always occurs in or near Afro-montane forest along its entire distribution from the Cape to the Limpopo Province. C. erythrophyllum differs from C. vendae in being confined to river banks or areas with a shallow water table. C. erythrophyllum differs in habit from C. vendae in being a large single-stemmed tree, whereas C. vendae is usually a multi-stemmed shrub or small tree. Outside the Soutpansberg C. vendae is most closely related to C. nelsonii. C. nelsonii leaves are more similar to those of C. kraussii than those of C. vendae. C. nelsonii leaves differ from those of C. vendae by not having marked raised tertiary veins, the lower surface being glabrous and its lamina is also thinner not being markedly leathery.
