|discussion=<p><i>Rauiella scita</i> is more likely to be confused with <i>Leskea</i> (Leskeaceae) than with any other Thuidiaceae. However, the abundant paraphyllia and multipapillose laminal cells distinguish <i>R. scita</i>. As in <i>R. praelonga</i>, the distal portion of the costa of the branch leaves is covered with laminal cells, but in <i>R. scita</i> the apical cell of the branch leaves is truncate and multipapillose, unlike the smooth, pointed apical cell in <i>R. praelonga</i>.</p>
