    Observaciones: Phenology.- Tarenaya cordobensis flowers and fruits from January to March, and in November and December. Discussion.- Tarenaya cordobensis is characterized by its 3-foliolate leaves, relatively large flowers with puberulent to glabrescent pedicels, oblong-elliptic petals, and fusiform capsules with relatively long gynophores (12–15[–25] mm long). It is similar to T. aculeata, from which it can be distinguished by its armed petioles (vs. unarmed), conic nectaries (vs. disciform), filaments 13–15 mm long (vs. 3.5–7 mm long), fusiform capsules (vs. cylindric, slightly torulose) with gynophore 12–15(–25) mm long (vs. sessile capsules or with gynophore up to 10 mm long).
