This species is distinguished from V. ovatifolium, Rehder, by 
the shape of the leaf and the long stamens, from V. betulifolium 
Batal. and V. lobophyllum, Graebn. by the leaves pubescent 
on both sides and of different shape; from V. dasyanthum, 
Rehder, and V. hupehense, Rehder, by the glabrous corolla. 
The leaves suggest those of V. dtlatatum, Thunb.
