Key characteristics

Schizopetalon brachycarpum is most closely related to S. dentatum, from which it differs in having narrowly oblong, much shorter (1-1.5 cm) and broader (2.5-3 mm) fruits, shorter (0.8-1.2 mm) styles, fewer (4 or 5) seeds per locule, pinnatifid to pinnatisect bracts, finely divided leaf lobes (Al-Shehbaz, 1989)
