No flowers. Fle P. Cabin v below. St. like (B) but less brownish;
shorter than (B) & the upper parts densely white
tomentosae. Stipules semi-circular v strongly em-

veiny v strongly rugose, flocculent wooly both
sides. Upper side dark green, under side grayish
green, very low toothed. Apex acute, base truncate
