Comments:
The Flora of the West Indies (see link below) lists both this and
Nidema boothii. Either
Nidema boothii must be treated as an error or
Nidema ottonis must be placed into synonymy under
Nidema boothii, as
Nidema ottonis is essentially a triandrous version of
Nidema boothii (see Ackerman 2014: 340-342; Correll & Correll 1982: 376).
Synonyms:
Nidema boothii of Correll & Correll (1982), not (Rchb. f.) Britton & Millsp.
