distinctly intermediate between the parents, their shape being more like 

 that of L. Standishii Carr., while in the slighter or nearly wanting pubes- 

 cence they resemble L. fragrantissima Carr. From the latter species the 

 hybrid is chiefly distinguished by the presence of reflexed hairs on the 

 shoots, which are not bloomy when young, the longer and narrower more 

 or less acuminate leaves pale green beneath and often setosely pubescent 

 on the veins and veinlets and by the ciliate bracts; from L. Standishii it 

 differs chiefly in the often glabrous branchlets, in the much less hairy 

 and often nearly glabrous leaves and in the glabrous or nearly glabrous 

 flowers.
