This very elegant plant may be considered to approach nearer 
to J. trilobata than to any other species with which we are at - 
present acquainted, but is at once distinguished from it by its 
beautifully ciliated leaves and stipules, which give to the whole 
plant, even when seen by the naked eye, a peculiarly tomentose 
appearance.
