Very robust, with curved branches, the lesser ones umbellate or corymbose, all 
most closely covered with reflexed leaves. Lys. {-1 in. long, 1 1. wide, somewhat 
fleshy, when recent quite smooth above, but, in drying, the upper surface shrinks 
unequally and thus becomes striate. 
6. C. pectinata (Less.! Syn. 85); branches glabrous; leaves erect- 
incurved, imbricated, semi-lanceolate, mucronate, (small), with a thick- 
ened reflexed margin which is pectinated on its outer edge with long, 
slender cilia, and on its inner (or under) with short ones; inv. se. all 
erect, the outer pectinated like the leaves. DC.l. c. 499. Rohria
