Differs from typical V. lobophyllum chiefly in the sUght floccose pubescence of 

 the under side of the leaves which are usually cuneate at the base. In the shape of 

 the leaves it bears some resemblance to V. Wilsonii Rehder, but is distinguished by 

 its quite glabrous branchlets and petioles, the only sHghtly pubescent inflorescence, 

 the glabrous winter-buds and the only slightly pubescent under side of the leaves. 

 No. 1812 agrees in the shape and size of the leaflets exactly with No. 1811, the 

 type of this variety, while No. 1808 has smaller leaves only from 5-7 mm. long.
