Densely branched shrub 2-3 m; branches glandular-pubescent. Leaves 3-6 cm, broadly obovate, subsessile, biserrate, glabrous, dark shining green, viscid with an aromatic, resinous secretion. Flowers 15-18 mm wide and about as long, in small, pyramidal panicles. Calyx glandular-pubescent; corolla bright pinkish-red; stamens very slightly exserted. Cultivated in W. Europe, especially in coastal districts for hedges, and locally naturalized in S. England and W. Ireland. [Br Hb.] (Chile.)
Sometimes treated as a variety of 2, but very distinct as seen in cultivation.
