Very close to V. Haastii, and there are forms which are quite intermediate. but 
in the usual state it is easily separated by the smaller size, sharply recurved leaves, and 
ciliate bracts and calyx-segments.

A decumbent or prostrate sparingly branched woody little plant ; branches 
ascending, 3-6in. long. Leaves not close-set, spreading, 7-3 in. long, oblong 
or linear-oblong, rounded at the apex, narrowed into a short broad petiole, 
flat, shghtly coriaceous, glabrous or the margins minutely glandular-ciliate ; 
the opposite petioles connate at the base and forming a short sheath clasping 
the branch. Flowering branches clothed with numerous erect linear or 
linear-lanceolate foliaceous obtuse bracts, each branch ending in a narrow- 
oblong many-flowered spiciform head 4-14 in. long. Flowers small, }-4in, 
diam., sclitary and sessile in the axils of the bracts, which slightly exceed 
the calyx. Calyx deeply 4—5-partite; segments very unequal in size, 
linear, obtuse, minutely ciliate. Corolla hardly exceeding the calyx; tube 
cylindrical, longer than the limb, which is 4-lobed, the lobes spreading or 
reflexed. Stamens included. Capsule small, oblong, turgid. —- Cheesem.

bracts are a very remarkable character.
