Branchlets puberulous; leaves sub-sessile or petiolate; leaflets sessile, linear-lanceolate, acuminate, tapering to the base, mucronate, with revolute margins, entire, or with one or a few sharp teeth, glabrous above, whitish-tomentose beneath; panicles axillary and terminal pubescent; pedicels capillary. R. rosmarini-folia Distinguished from the preceding, to which it is much allied (and perhaps a variety), by the more robust habit, the larger and generally longer leaves, and the pubescent panicle. Leaflets in var. a, 1-2.5 inches long, 2-3 lines wide; in var. B. 8-9 lines long, 2 lines wide, at the top with 2-4 short but acute teeth. The flowers and fruit pubescent, as in the preceding.
