Published botanical descriptions and figures of thisspecies, being based on inadequate material, are not verysatisfactory. I have therefore prepared the following:— Branchlets dark purple-black, pale fugaceous-tomentosetowards the ends. Leaves oblong or elliptic-oblong, apexblunt, acute, or subacuminate (but frequently damaged),base equal to markedly unequal and cuneate to cordate,usually about cm.
