Hardly distinguishable from D. depressa (cf. Schinz in Bull. Herb. Boiss. iv. 846) 3 
the plant is taller, attaining 3-4 ft., with straight branches and very erect fruit 
clusters ; the main branches have leaves 2 in. and more long; but the branchlets with 
shorter leaves by themselves might pass for D. depressa. 
3. D. radicans, Nees in DC. Prod. xi. 106. Stems procumbent, 
branching, rooting, hispid-pubescent at the tips (and throughout in hill 
“xamples), with no straight simple branches. Leaves not exceeding 
! in. in length. Calyx-tube hairy within. Corolla scarcely 2-lipped.
