scattered substrigose pubescence beneath (somewhat more dense upon the 
veins), 4 to 84 cm. long, 14 to 24 cm. broad: flowers axillary, disposed sé 2 
leafy one-sided racemes or scorpoid cymes, in fruit about 15 em. in length:

altitude 3,000 m., 18 August, 1896, no. 6451. A species with the habit 
of L. Palmeri, Wats., but readily distinguished by the pubescence of the
