This and the preceding plant are among the most remark- 
able brought by Mr. Cruckshanks from Chili. While the 
former resembles, in its winged leafless stems, the Genista 
segetalis, the present has more the appearance of some 
Cupressus, than of a plant of the Nat. Ord. Composite. The 
branches and leaves are beautifully and regularly distichous; 
the latter being glabrous externally, and woolly within, as 
are the stems and branches.

The corymbs are dense, even at the top: flowers apparently

E scarcely see how this is to be distinguished from the C. 
rufescens, except by the colour of its down: this is so dense 
on every part of the plant, that nowhere are the nerves visible,

quoted.
