Like B. villosa but sepals villous and slightly larger anthers. From: Oliver, EGH; Classen-Bockhoff, R. 2012. Bruniaceae.

Closely related to R. villosa Presl of which it may be a variety. It is now distinguished as a species by the sepals being villous on the dorsal surface and by the slightly larger anthers. The structure and texture of the ovary indicate that this species belongs to Raspalia. From: Pillans, NS. 1947. A revision of Bruniaceae. J. S. African Bot. 13: 121-203.
