Leandxa crenata (Don) Cogn, Besides a series of specimens
which I regard as typical In structure and appearance* we have three
others which at first sight impress one as specifically different.
These are Buchtien 7403, from the Tlpuanl Valley* 8146 and 8388*
from the region of Goripata, Their flower structure differs in
only the smallest details fro» the type. The leaves are pro-
portionately much broader, more obviously 7-nerved, acute rather
than acuminate* and much more densely pubescent with shorter, non-
papillose hairs. The inflorescence Is more contact and bears
more flowers* subtended by conspicuous persistent bracts 3—5 mm.
