Lin. syst. Pentándria, Monog?jnia. Calyx 5-parted. Corolla 
with the tube a little longer than the calyx, a deeply 5-cleft limb, 
a naked throat, and lanceolate-acute, erect segments. Anthers 
nearly sessile, in the recesses between the segments of the 
corolla, inclosed, erect, linear, dehiscing at the sides, and sub- 
bifid at the base. Style setaceous ; stigma glandular, hardly 
conspicuous, simple. Nuts 4, glabrous, ovate, compressed, 
clypeate, each surrounded by a broad membrane, (one of which, 
from its small size, is abortive,) fixed to the central column at the 
base.—A glabrous plant, with a branched root, ovate-lanceolate 
leaves, and terminal racemosely corymbose reddish flowers. 
This genus differs from Mattia in the throat of the corolla 
being naked, that is, without vaulted processes. 
1. R. rerra’spis (Pall. l. c. Led. fl. alt. 1. p. 193.) leaves 
oblong, or oblong-lanceolate, smoothish ; flowers racemosely 
corymbose ; corollas twice as long as the calyx, with linear 
segments ; stamens shorter than the segments of the corolla.
