Comments:
- Lindmania oliva-estevae was first considered as a new species by julian A Steyermark and Lyman B Smith who drew up an intial description in 1988. Lindmania oliva-estevae appears to be most closely related to L. steyermarkii L.B. Sm., which also has head-like clusters of flowers. Lindmania oliva-estevae can be distinguished from L. steyermarkii by the stellate scales on the leaves and densely ciliate leaf blade margins (vs leaves glabrous), longer-leaves (30-45 cm long vs 18-25 cm long), and by having the sheath margins coriaceous (vs membranous) —See Holst 1996 p. 46(4): 156-168
