With its rounded, mostly undivided underleaf, this species could only be mistaken for C. integrispula, a larger species (~2.5 mm wide) that occurs in the same damp habitats. The distinction is microscopic: C. neesiana has underleaves with bases that run down the stem (“decurrent”) and stem cells that lack oil bodies, while C. integrispula has oil bodies in its stem cells and the underleaves are not decurrent.
