This local species is certainly close to the newly described Rubia pseudogalium from the Gaoligong Shan region of Yunnan but clearly separable (see there). In habit both are quite similar to Galium. In spite of their very narrow leaves and only slightly palmate veins, this R. truppeliana group probably should be placed into R. sect. Oligoneura.
