This has much the habit of V. microphylla of Humboldt 

 and Kvmth ; but the leaves are larger, more divided, wholly 

 glabrous, of a yellowish colour when dry, and the spikes are 

 terminal, not axillary. It is remarkably procumbent, and 

 throws out roots abundantly from the lower part of the 

 woody stems. Flowers fragrant.

 formibus. Kunth.
