Etymology: "Paulista " is used to indicate a person who was born in the state of Sao Paulo. As in the previous species, the Latin suffix anus, a, um (= "belonging to a certain place") was added to make N. paulistana, meaning this species originated in Sao Paulo.

Phenology: Flowering takes place from August to October.
