This is very distinct from A . bomeensis , Becc., which Hooker combines with 
it as varieties of the Indian A. longifolia. A . sessilifolia is a dwarf shrub, 
usually quite unbranched, with erect pubescent spikes above the terminal 
tuft of leaves, and is not at all resinous. A. bomeensis is a resinous much- 
branched big shrub with more slender racemes in the axils of the distant 
lower leaves, not at all pubescent. The shape of the leaves and the venation 
are also quite different.
