4a. Monotes dasyanthus Gilg var. dasyanthus

Diagnosis:— Upper surface of leaf without stellate hairs; lower surface of leaf discolorous, with areoles covered with a dense layer of stellate hairs, more or less masked by long, woolly, fulvous hairs.

Variation:— M. dasyanthus var. dasyanthus is extremely variable for thickness, density and colour of the lower surface indumentum. We found very difficult to divide that variation. Two forms can be tentatively recognized.
