I strongly suspect this is only a variety of L. ^flava Bol. 

 Mug. t. 1318, (Caprifol. Fraseri Ph.) wliich scarcely differs 

 except in the leaves being smooth. The leaves are variable 

 in breadth, pubescence, £cc. In the specimens sent me by 

 Prof. Ha dley, they are only slightly pubescent ; the upper 

 pair perfectly smooth, abruptly acuminate, with the superior 

 surface shining. In Afr. Cr awe's specimens, the two up- 

 permost pairs of leaves are connate and mucronate ; the 

 lower ones ovate, on short petioles, and almost villous.
