Max 



also grows on Kongo-san, but is easily distinguished by the longer, long- 

 acuminate, more or less pubescent leaves, by the slender peduncles, and 

 by bractlets connate into two distinct pairs. In its glabrous reticulately 

 veined leaves L. suhsessilis resembles the closely related L. Chamissoi Bge. 

 which differs, however, in the generally oval and obtusish, usually nearly 

 sessile leaves, in the slender peduncles, the very small bractlets connate into 

 distinct pairs, and in the smaller and more numerous seeds of the fruit. 



Young plants of X. subsessilis are growing in this Arboretum and from 

 these we shall probably soon be able to supply the description of the flowers 

 which, however, as we know them do not present very marked differences 

 in the species of the subsect. Rhodanthae.
