Rami ascendentes rarius subpatuli. Spinee quam ее R. niloticw, Stapf,

sicco aliquanto castanea ; созбе зесип4агие utrinque 8—4, tenerrime ; petioli 
3-7 mm. long.  Stipule circa 2 mm. long. Pedunculi + 5 mm. long. 
Flores albi. Ovarium ægre 2 mm. long. et lat. Calycis limbus 3 mm. long., 
dentibus interpositis minimis nonnunquam obsoletis ; lobi 5 mm. long., 
3°5 mm. lat. Corolla tubus 5 mm. long., 3 mm. lat. ; lobi 5 mm. long. 
Antherze subsessiles, oblongæ, obtuse, 3:5—4 mm. long. Stylus 4:5 mm.

Near R. nilotica, Stapf, and R. Lachnosiphonium, Hochst., and more like 
the latter in habit, but the branches are always spinous. From both it is 
distinguished by the shortly peduncled flowers, the tomentose calyces, and 
small corollas.
