RORIDULA GorgoniasPl. [family ], l. c. p. 307;—R.dentata.E. & Z.130.
Information
leaves linear-lanceolate, subulate, acuminate, entire, densely glandularly ciliate, racemes (in flower) spiciform. Pedicels more than twice as short as the bract; sepals lanceolate, setaceo-acuminate, villoso-ciliate at the margin, longer than the acute petals. It differs from the preceding in the more slender habit, leaves not pinnatifido-dentate, and especially in the spicato-racemose inflorescence, and sepals without glands and with a white-woolly margin. The denuded branches bear at the summit crowded, taper-pointed leaves, 2 1/2 inches long, 1 1/2 lines wide at base. Flowering pedicels very short, bracteolate at base; the fruiting ones longer (1/2 inch long). Capsule valves oblong.
