 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. pygmœus.
