This differs from the simple-leaved variety of R. martii in the distant primary veins 
and midrib being very prominent on the under surface of the leaves, the former 
leaving the latter at a very acute angle and traversing nearly two thirds of the length 
of the leaf. It also differs in being almost altogether glabrous in all its parts, and in 
the racemes proceeding from the old woed in the only specimen seen.
