Our specimens from Dr. Thomson have the leaves broader and 
larger and more downy than those from Dr. Wallich, but not more 
different than is to be expected in a plant named “ diversifolia” 
from the variable character of the leaves. Professor De Candolle 
justly compares it to the European Xy/osteum, but it belongs to 
a different subsection, having the berries distinct. I do not see 
that L. Royleana deserves even to be considered a variety. All 
my specimens give the idea of an erect, not a scandent, shrub.
