Hi Mary Sue: Have you tried my second suggestion, R.gigantea? I can not find my De Vos book on Romuleas but the bract and bracteole were diagnostic. Look in the Encyclopedia as the descriptions are quite complete. Gigantea is also a weed here and the name is misleading, it is only gigantea in stature, flowers almost insignificant.
