|discussion=<p><i>Schistophragma intermedium</i> is closely related to <i>Leucospora multifida</i>, which has two or three (or four) leaves per node, corolla tubes 2–3 mm, and smaller fruits with obtuse or rounded apices. <i>Schistophragma intermedium</i> might be confused with species of Verbena due to the pinnatifid leaves and purple tubular corollas; the flowers of <i>Schistophragma</i> are solitary in leaf axils, and the corollas are bilabiate.</p>
