The curiously crisped leaves of this species have a very beauti- 
ful appearance, and will serve at first sight to distinguish it from 
J. platyphylia, with which it has so many points in common, 
that, even if possessed of this character alone, constant as it ap- 
pears to be, I should not venture upon describing it as distinct, 
A more important mark of difference is observable in the shape 
of the stipules, which are here cordate; in J. platyphylia ligu- 
late. It is more like the var. 8. of J. platyphylla than the com- 
mon appearance of it.
