ssp. hermaphrodltum (Hagerup) D.Love
A fairly typical specimen of ssp. hermaphro-
ditum but without fruits or flowers. Growth,
color of stems, size and shape of leaves just
as in ssp. hermaphroditurn, but most of the
leaves appear nwhorledw in groups of 5 to 6,
with rather long "internodes”. This has, how-
ever been noted in ssp* hermaphroditum before.
