ZZ, angustifolia with the widely-distributed . salicifolia, but I follow Mueller in keeping 
them distinct.

The specimen figured belongs to the form “ with rather large ovate nearly sessile 
leaves, more glabrous and tending [not very markedly] to dry black,” mentioned by 
Bentham ; it is identified doubtfully by Brown with his udscendens, but Bentham is no 
doubt right in placing it under procumbens.
