In common with its ally, L. corymhosa, Benth., this species exhibits 
considerable variation in its habit, indumentum, and size of flowers, but 
intermediate forms suggest the advisability of regarding the specimens 
quoted as forms of one variable species, which may be distinguished 
from either of its congeners by the entire glabridity of its corollas.
