radiculose, ascending, here and there branched,
119.
Leaves densely imbricate, succubous, rather orbicular,
obliquely sessile at the base, or a little decurrent,
quite entire (fig. 119). Stipules broadly
subulate, in the older stems obsolete, hence
sometimes described as absent.
Bracts longer than the cauline leaves. Perianth
cylindrical, sometimes slightly curved, mouth
shortly lacinate.

innovant. Leaves rather
distant on barren shoots,
crowded and imbricated on
fertile ones,erect,diminishing

spreading, nearly orbicular,
