Verbena chamaedryfolia, Juss. Fig. 3910. Characterized by red fls. in flattish clusters, oblong, coarsely scalloped, nearly sessile lvs. and rather stiff pubescence: sts. slender, forking, creeping at base, hirsute: branches somewhat ascending: lvs. oblong or ovate, base broadly cuneate, contracted into the short petiole, crenate or subincisely serrate, serrations often unequal, strigose above, below hairy, especially on nerves: peduncles elongated, ascending: spikes solitary, capitate: bracts lanceolate-subulate, ciliate: calyx hirsute-canescent, sparingly glandular, more than twice as long as the bracts; corolla crimson, limb irregular.—Occurs in two rather distinct, forms: var. Melindres, Hort., has oblong to oblong-lanceolate lvs., which are unequally incised-serrate. This form is less hirsute and is more graceful and vigorous. It was the form first intro. to cult. Var. melindroides, Hort., has shorter, broader lvs. and is more hairy. Different forms occur over S. Brazil, Uruguay, Paraguay, and the whole of the Pampas. B.R. 1184. L.B.C. 16:1514. B.M. 3333.
