sulpilifera, foliis angustioribus paulo ultra medium bifidis, cruribus 
subpiliferis, margine, basi ciliata excepta, inermibus.—Ommes forme 
foliis confertissimis anguste bivittatis conveniunt.—H. runcinata 
(Tayl.), ex insula Chiloe, folia caulina habet cordato-oblonga basi 
runcinato-dentata, quod in nostra solum in f. involucralibus obtinet.
