Recent taxonomy suggests B. odorata is the species naturalized in Florida, which has some petioles usually with distinct prickles, globose fruits, small midrib bundles completely encircling the fibrous cylinder, and does not have raphide-containing idioblasts in the foliar margin, unlike B. capitata (Noblick 2011, 2014; Sant’Anna-Santos et. al 2015).
