|discussion=<p><i>Tolumnia bahamensis</i> has been regarded by some authors as a synonym or variety of T. variegata (D. S. Correll 1950; C. L. Withner 1980). Flower morphology helps little in the T. variegata complex (J. D. Ackerman and M. Galarza-Pérez 1991); <i>T. bahamensis</i> differs, however, by being a tetraploid (84 chromosomes) and having semiterete leaves. These features also exist in <i>T. sylvestris</i> (G. J. Braem 1986b), a species of eastern Cuba generally found in high elevation pine forests, a habitat somewhat different from that of either Florida or the Bahamas. Whether or not <i>T. sylvestris</i> and <i>T. bahamensis</i> are conspecific awaits further studies.</p>
