Rootstock stout, woody; stem 2-3 ft., often woody ; branches stout, obtusely

above impressed. Whorls dense-fld. Calya-teeth variable, always very short.— 
Dalzell’s Z. collina is in no point different enough to be a marked variety ; some states 
of it have the leaves beautifully silky beneath. The Parusnath specimens have a 
smaller calyx and browner more scurfy tomentum on the branches. The hairs of the 
branches at once distinguish this from Z. montana. A variety with longer setaceous 
calyx-teeth and bracts half as long as the calyx, is in Dalzell’s Herbarium, marked 
“ L. zeylanica.”
