COMMENTSGroutiella reesei was published as a subspecies of G. chimborazensis by Vitt (1979), but later promoted to the rank of species by Allen (2002) based on two leaf features: the bulging quadrate cells on the upper dorsal surface of the costa, and the thickened (Fig. 10K), fragile and frequently broken leaf apices (Fig. 10D, G, J). Including these two characters, the species further differs from G. chimborazensis by having much lower leaf marginal border that consists of two rows of short-rectangular to rectangular cells (Fig. 10L). Groutiella tomentosa also has fragile apices, but differs in its longer leaf limbidia consisting of elongated cells.
