Near L. pterostigma Hance, from which the present plant dif- 
fers in having oblong or obovate leaves which are much smaller 
and nearly glabrous. In JL. pterostigma, the leaves are much 
longer, shortly villose beneath, ovate, (broadest at the basal portion), 
and obscurely toothed. Also near L. crenulata Gaup., but differs 
from it by the leaves with primary lateral veins which spread out 
in an acuter angle.
