This variety differs chiefly in the presence of pubescence 
the entire under surface of the leaves. The leaves of the ty 
form are quite smooth or slightly pubescent beneath toward 
base. There is another and better marked variant which almost 
entirely replaces the typical form in the West Indies and ul 
connects the species closely with the widely distributed and rath 
variable C. portoricensis. This form differs from genuine C. 
mosa in the narrower (elliptic-oblong) more numerous ¢ a,
