Sinodielsia cuneata (H. Wolff) M. G. Pimenov & E. V. Kljuykov

This species is unusual within the genus by the lack of conspicuous bracts and bracteoles. However, it is a poorly known taxon, recorded only from a few collections. The generic assignment is therefore tentative pending further study, as the species may be better placed in Tongoloa or, if recognized, Sinodielsia.
