Sootstoci: stout, woody ; stem 2-3 ft., often woody ; branches stout, obtusely

 above impressed. Whorls dense-fld. Calyx-teeth variable, always very short. — 

 Dalzell's L. collina is in no point different enough to be a marked variety ; some states 

 of it have the leaves beautifully silky beneath. The Parusnath specimens have a 

 smaller calyx and browner more scurfy tomentum on the branches. The hairs of the 

 branches at once distinguish this from L. montana. A variety with longer setaceous 

 calyx-teeth and bracts half as long as the calyx, is in Dalzell's Herbarium, marked 

 " L. zeylanica."
