Hance has confused this and our L. trichophlebus in his de- 

 scription ; yet he does not appear to have retained a specimen of 

 the latter. The present species is almost everywhere glabrous 

 in the fruiting stage, except the teeth of the calyx, and the pri- 

 mary veins are usually five on each side of the midrib, rarely six.
