Differs from /. congesta in the leaves -with fewer (8-10 pair) nerves, and the mxich 

 smaller flowers with longer ooroUa-lobes and more slender anthers. Except in the 

 smaller leaves, and according to Kurz, the shrubby habit and glabrous pedunoled 

 cyme and pale rose-coloured flowers /. sqssilijlora does not seem to differ from /. 

 rugosula, of the which it has the few nerves ; it is perhaps a mountain form, found 

 at 3000 to 4000 ft. elevation ; I have, however, seen but one poor specimen, kindly 

 sent by Dr. King. The flowers of /. ncgosula are white.
