We think with Persoon and De Candolle that the broad - 

 leaved Ruta chalepensis is quite a distinct species from our 

 plant, we have therefore not hesitated in adopting; their 

 name. At No. 2018 of this work we have given a figure of a 

 species of Ruta under the name of macrophylla, which may 

 perhaps be the broad-leaved variety of Ruta chalepensis 

 We believe that the connivent acute points of the lobes 

 of the calyx will distinguish this, not only from that species, 

 but also from officinalis, of which our plant has also been 

 deemed a variety.
