Near L. pterostigma Hange, from which the present plant dif- 

 fers in having oblong or obovato leaves which are much smaller 

 and nearly glabrous. In L. pterosiigma, the leaves are much 

 longer, shortly villose beneath, ovate, (broadest at the basal portion), 

 and obscurely toothed. Also near L. crenulata Gaud., but differs 

 from it by the leaves with primary lateral veins which spread out 

 in ail acuter anirle.
