Described from specimens in the Brussels Herbarium. The species runs down * 
the key (p. 270) beside L. tschintschochensis, Engl., and L. Buvume, Rendle. . 
differs from the former in the ascending calyx, much broader than the receptacle, 
from the latter in the base of the leaves, and from both species in having only two 
lateral nerves on each side of the midrib.
