This species is often confused with F. boliviana, which it closely resembles. On close inspection. most plants in cultivation identified as F. corymbiflora turn out to be the latter. The most immediately visible distinction is that the sepals of F. boliviana initially become spreading at anthesis but soon fully reflex back against the tube. The sepals of F. corymbiflora, on the hand, spread at anthesis but remain in a more angled position. They do not fully reflex. {{Cite journal|last=Berry|first=P.E.|date=1982|title=The systematics and evolution of Fuchsia sect.
