 Hilly country of Madras. Dr. Wight. — This is an erect plant, 

 5-6 inches in height, bare of branches towards the base, but 

 everywhere leafy. The leaves and stipules are furnished with 

 a distinct though slender denticulated margin, the former 

 ciliated at their base. The var. /3. was suspected by Dr. 

 Wallich to be distinct from L. semicordatum, though similar 

 in the general form of its foliage.
