This species is closely related to J. Fargesii Franchet, which differs in the shape 
of the leaves. These are entire or mostly entire below the middle, with longer 
bases gradually narrowed into the petioles, and at the apex are narrowed into a 
shorter and broader point. It forms a transition between the sections Micro- 
dontae and Repandae, and might perhaps be better placed in the latter, although 
lhave placed it with the Lemurenses on account of its close relationship with 
I. Fargesii.
