The material cited above shows more variation in leaf shape and
indument than do the specimens under any one of the other varieties
maintained in the present treatment. Quite possibly gossypifolia
should be separated into several varieties, but I am reluctant to do so
without having in hand at one time all available specimens. Were
this course followed, typical gossypifolia would perhaps be restricted
to Hispaniola, the type specimen in the Paris Herbarium agreeing
perfectly with the other specimens from that island and having the
very short indument described by Desvaux as "tomentose." Very
close to this, however, are variants from northern South America.
The form, rare in Cuba but very common in Mexico and Central
America, with a viscous indument of longer, grayish hairs, would
constitute another variety. Some specimens from South America
also closely approach this, and others come nearer the typical form.
