Apparently a very common plant in the passes in the 
mountains between Valparaiso and St. Jago, for almost every 
collection from that locality contains it. 
It is a hardy perennial, about a foot high, with a woody 
stem, which would probably become shrubby in favourable 
situations. Its little hoary leaves, and very numerous pale 
primrose-coloured flowers, have quite a peculiar appear- 
ance, and render it extremely different from all the other 
species. 
It thrives with the same treatment as other C 
but it is impatient of damp in winter; cuttings rea 
tiply it. 
Our drawing was made in September 1833, im the 
garden of the Horticultural Society, where it had been raised 
from seed received from Mr. Cruckshanks.
