segments tipped with an obtuse gland. Petals white, spreading. Fert. filaments 
rather longer than the petals, glabrous; sterile half as wide, otherwise like the 
petals, with a small brown gland under the tip. Style glabrous. Capsule glabrous, 
of 2 compressed carpels, 1} lines long, with spreading horns. This differs from 
A. juniperifolia by the longer and broader leaves, 6-8 lines long, 1-1} wide, irregu-

filaments.
