1) Von seiner Art sagt Paxton; »Resembles in some respects the L. indica. but its 

 growth is far more robust, its flowering season muchlater, and its whole habit, when 

 the t\so are Seen together, vcry distinct. The blossoms are darker coloured, and a little 

 smaller than tho'^e of L. indica«. 



2) »The blossoms themselves are something larger than in L. elegans, but the pa- 

 nicles being less, they scarcely make so mui^h show as those of elegans«.
