blunt ftcuminate apex, the edges witb a few remote shallow perrations 
or sometimes almost entire, the laterals slightly oblique towards the 
rotinded or cnneate base: both surfaces glabrous aed shining, the reticu-

2'5 in., the terraimil one from 4 5 to 6 in, long, and from 2 to 3*5 in.

This is allied to Tm simplicifoUa 55oll., but differs in its leaves whick 
are never simple and wJiioh hsive 3 to 5 leaflets smaller tlmn in the 
pinnatiC forms of L. simpUclftilkt, The cjnies of this are moi-eover 
few-flowered and much smnller titan in that species, and the lobes of 
the staminnl colnmn in this nre broaci and very slightly eniargtnate or ~ 
sub-entire, whereas in If. simpUeifoUn they are more deeply bifid than 
in any species here described. The ripe fruit of this is moreover stated 
by Kunstler to be white.
