Of the two specimens of my own collecting which I possess, 
one has the leaves oblong-linear, and somewhat curved towards 
the base, while in the other, which is not otherwise distinct, they 
are elliptical-ovate. They are connected, however, by a specimen 
from Claussen’s collection, the leaves of which are of an interme- 
diate shape.
