A much branched and ramulous, densely leafy, perennial or subshrub, 1-14 foot 
long. The lateral branches generally very short, and forming at flowering time a 
secundate spike, but in other specimens elongate, virgate. Leaves imbricated, 
mucronate, in var. y. spreading; they are as long as in 2&. ciliata, but twice nar- 
rower and hairy-ciliated. Calyx lobes always pubescent inside, about } inch long, 
4 line wide, ciliated or remotely ciliate-toothed. Corolla white or perhaps yellowish, 
smaller than in common forms of R. ciliata, deeply 5-fid, the lobes narrower. The 
var. y. resembles in aspect the var. 5. minor of R. ciliata. R. reticulata Linn. spec.
