Franchet distinguishes his ZL. strophiophora from L. 
pilosa, Maximowicz chiefly by the smaller leaves, the gib- 
bous tube of the corolla and the pilose style; but the 
fully grown leaves do not differ in size and in the type speci- 
men of Maximowicz the style is pilose below the middle and 
the tube distinctly gibbous, but the gibbosity is almost 
hidden by the calyx. The ovaries are sometimes glabrous.

Upright shrub; branches of last year light brown, rough 
with small tubercles; winter buds subglobose, covered 
by several pairs of orbicular-ovate, lustrous, brown scales. 
Leaves appearing with the flowers, not fully developed during 
anthesis, elliptic-ovate to oblong-ovate, acuminate, pubes- 
cent on both sides; flowers usually from buds atthe end 
of last year’s branchlets; peduncle puberulous and glandu- 
lar, rather short; bracts ovate-lanceolate, 6-7 mm. long 
and 2-3 mm. broad, narrowed at the base, exceeding the 
calyx, sparingly pubescent outside and glandular; bractlets 
none; ovaries furnished with stiff hairs and _stipitate 
glands; calyx cup-shaped, one-third to one-half as long as 
ovary, with 5 rounded unequal lobes, ciliate and glandu- 
lar; corolla funnel-form, about 18 mm. long, tube narrow, 
conspicuously gibbous at the base, gradually widened
