This variety seems to connect the var. ulmifolius with 

 the var. pseudo-Idceus. The stem is stronger, the prickles 

 ai'e larger, the aciculi and set?e shorter and stronger, the 

 leaflets different in shape from those parts in the var. ulmi- 

 folius. It differs from var. j^seudo-Idoeus by its stem being 

 less pruinose, the prickles, aciculi and setae stronger, the 

 terminal leaflet of the pinnate leaves different in sliape, 

 sessile, and narrowed (not rounded) to its base. Most of the 

 leaves are quinate.
