var. montana. Leaves very much shorter, 3 to 4 in- long. 
Inflorescence short, 1 in. long, slightly puberulous. " Bark grey,

This varies very much in size of leaves according to altitude. The var. 
montana seems to be a very much condensed plant from high altitudes, and 
looks very different from the lowland long-leaved form.
