A shrub 2~4 feet high, the branches and branchlets virgate. Leaves nearly sessile 
or on a petiole 2~3 lines long. Leaflets straight or incurved, 1-2 inches long, 3-r 
line wide, the terminal somewhat longer. Axillary panicles short, the terminal ones 
mostly longer ; peduncles slender, patent, the uppermost pedicels about 1 line or as 
long as the flowers. Petals oblong, twice as long as the calyx. Drupe the size of a 
pea, pubescent or sub-glabrous. 
2. R. stenophylla (E. & Z.! n. 1094); branchlets puberulous, leaves 
sub-sessile or petiolate; leaflets sessile, linear-lanceolate, acuminate, ta- 
pering to the base, mucronate, with revolute margins, entire, or with one 
or a few sharp teeth, glabrous above, whitish-tomentose beneath ; pani- 
cles axillary and terminal pubescent; pedicels capillary. RB. rosmarini-

istinguished from the preceding, to which it is much allied (and perhaps a 
variety), by the more robust habit, the larger and generally longer leaves, and the 
ubescent panicle. Leaflets in var. a, 1-2} inches long, 2-3 lines wide ; in var. B. 
b-9 lines long, 2 lines wide, at the top with 2-4 short but acute teeth. The flowers 
and fruit pubescent, as in the preceding. Drege n. 6811, is a radical shoot of this or 
R. incisa. 
3. R. angustifolia (L. spec. 382); branchlets glabrous; leaves petio- 
late ; leaflets petiolulate, lanceolate, mucronate, somewhat tapering at base, 
smooth, shining, reticulate above, densely tomentose beneath, on both 
sides penninerved, with quite entire, flat, or slightly recurved margins; 
panicles terminal, longer than the leaves, pubescent ; drupe sub-globose, 
puberulous. Pluk. Alm. t. 219. f. 6. Thunb.! fl. cap, p. 263. H.§ Z.!

Ort chad, with brown brendhea, “Petlale’§ tek ot longer, flat above, lateral pe 
tioles 2 lines, the terminal 3-4 lines long. Leaflets 2-2} inches long, 4-6 lines wide, 
green, with impressed middle nerve above, whitish or yellowish tomentose below, 
somewhat red in the prominent middle nerve. Flowers white, } line long. Panicles 
2-5 inches long, pyramidal. Pedicels capillary, bracteate at the base. a, ae 
size of a pea. In a few specimens the ultimate branchlets and petioles are y 
ubescent. Very similar to R. Jancea, Thunb., but distinguished bythe tomentose 
feaftets and the drupe. 
4, R. discolor (E. Mey.! in Herb. Drege.) ; branches and petioles to- 
mentose and slg od petiolate, leaflets sessile, lanceolate, mucronate, 
quite entire, adpressed-pubescent, or sub-glabrous above, softly reddish- 
tomentose below, flat or with revolute margins, the terminal tapering at 
base ; panicles hirsute, the axillary shorter than the leaves, the terminal 
longer, many-flowered ; drupe globose, glabrous, shining. 2. rufescens,
