Very variable in length and fasciculation of leaves. Lamarck’s original 
Specimen is our short-leaved form (var. aspalathoides), while his H. nitidum is a 
loose, long-leaved form, approaching some forms of the next species. 
10. H. galioides Lam. Like the last, but leaves longer and 
broader, linear-lanceolate to oblanceolate, generally mucronate,
