Like N. strictum but leaves usually reclining, petiole twice as long as blade, rachis refracted, pinnae ascending at obtuse angles to one another, leaflets refracted, flowers cream and fruit with dorsal ribs very prominent.

Nanobubon capillaceum differs from N. strictum in the reclining leaves and divaricate to geniculate pinnae with prominently refracted (curved) rachis and ultimate segments. The petals are cream-coloured in N. capillaceum (not yellow as in N. strictum) and the stylopodium dark purple (not greenish yellow). The median and lateral ribs in the fruit are also much more prominently raised than those of N. strictum. From: Magee, AR; Van Wyk, B-E; Tilney, PM. 2008.
