The leaves of a sterile branch collected by Matsumura are 

 uncommonly large, obovate-oblong, 14:h cm. long, 6 cm. wade, 

 obtuse-mucronate or obtuse, rusty-tomentose below when young, 

 but soon become glabrous. At first it seemed a distinct species, 

 but after consideration we concluded it to be simply an abnormal 

 form of M. couqjrcssa, (Maxim.).
