--><p><i>Tumamoca</i> is closely related to <i>Ibervillea</i>. Plants of both genera produce orange to red fruits with prominently margined, red-arillate seeds. <i>Tumamoca</i> is distinct in its narrowly funnelform hypanthium (versus narrowly campanulate to cylindric in <i>Ibervillea</i>), three staminodes (versus five), entire petals (versus apices bifid), interior corolla surfaces glabrous (versus densely pubescent), valvate buds (versus buds with infolded apices), and seeds with roughened surfaces and obscure margins (versus corky-pleated surfaces and raised margins).</p><!--
--><p><i>Tumamoca</i> mucronata Kearns apparently is known only from the type locality in northwestern Zacatecas, Mexico.</p>
