​"Species circumscription:—Alyxia caletioides was defined by Boiteau (1981) and Middleton (2002) with a corolla tube of 5–8 mm, and respectively with a solitary flower or with a subterminal or terminal inflorescence. Both authors however included a number of specimens having axillary flowers with corolla tube ca. 3 mm long, representing the southern half of the species’ distribution. Further analysis (see under A. urceolata sp. nov. section) confirmed that specimens included in Alyxia caletioides by both authors actually represent two distinct species. Alyxia caletioides is here confirmed as a species following Boiteau’s (1981) and Middleton’s (2002) opinions, but with a narrower distribution and a more stable morphology"
