Differs from J. congesta in the leaves with fewer (8-10 pair) nerves, and the much 
smaller flowers with longer corolla-lobes and more slender anthers, Except in the 
smaller leaves, and according to Kurz, the shrubby habit and glabrous peduncled 
cyme and pale rose-coloured flowers J. sessiliflora does not seem to differ from Z. 
rugosula, of the which it has the few nerves; it is perhaps a mountain form, found 
at 3000 to 4000 ft. elevation; I have, however, seen but one poor specimen, kindly 
sent by Dr. King. The flowers of Z. rugosula are white.
