v. ruderalis. 
Coarse, branched, rooting off-shoots shoot out from a little tuft with 
many leaves. The joints of the stems 2—3 ctm. long. The leaves 
coarse, 1—2,5 ctm. broad on 2 ctm. long stalks; the peduncles 
1—3 ctm. long, the calyx trisepalous, half as long as the tetrape- 
talous corolla. Stamens and fruit well developped. 
The plant is in all parts coarser and shorter than the main 
species. It must be considered a luxuriant form produced by 
abundant nutriment and want of water. It bears a certain superficial 
resemblance to R. pygmeus.
