for the profusion of bright yellow flowers with which its 

 long slender branches are laden. It does not grow above 

 2 or 3 feet high/ and is easily propagated by layers. Its 

 native country is unknown. 



The differences that exist between this and C. el on- 

 gatus are as follow : — The leaves are villous and green 

 beneath, not closely downy and silvery ; the peduncles are 

 longer than the petioles or as long, and not much shorter; 

 the veocillum is ragged, emarginate, and wavy, not obcor- 

 date, flat, and entire ; and, finally, the flowers are much 

 larger, and always produced in threes or fours, and not 

 usually solitary, or at the utmost produced in threes.
