This plant is most interesting ; it pushes its serpentine growth upwards 
through the foliage of Fachima (Chiliotrichum amelloideum, Cass.). It has 
a most delicious scent, not unlike English lavender. The flowers, which are 
produced from December to January, are usually white, but occasionally a 
pale mauve specimen occurs. ‘There is a coloured drawing at Kew made by 
Capt. Abbott.
