Obs. This species differs from L. japonicum, Thunb. and 
lucidum, Ait. in the figure and villosity of its leaves and the 
contracted shape of its panicle. It may perhaps be found 
the same as L, sinense, Lour. especially if the racemes, which 
_in the flora Cochin-chinensis are attributed to that tree, are 
considered as panicles, which indeed has been done by the 
illustrious author of that article in Rees’s New Cyclopeedia, © 
VERBENA. See Didynamia Angiospermia.
