Ecogeography and taxonomy of Rogeria J.Gay ex Delile (Pedaliaceae) Webbia; Raccolta de Scritti Botanici 68: 103-126.[8] Subsp. rosea is distinguished by its bright rose-pink corolla with a golden yellow interior, and broadly deltoid or lobed, pubescent leaves with truncate apices.

Morphological traits allowing Rogeria to survive in hot, arid environments include mucilage-bearing glandular trichomes and persistent woody capsules that decompose slowly.[9]
