Observaciones: Phenology.- Tarenaya trachycarpa is collected with flowers and fruits from August to February.
Discussion.- Tarenaya trachycarpa is a subshrub species, with pubescent to glandular-pubescent indumentum, and many slender to stout short prickles throughout the branches. The indumentum is a diagnostic feature to recognize the species; it can also be recognized by the glandular-puberulent petals at the abaxial face and the cylindric, densely puberulent capsules.
