 De Candolle describes it as a sufFruticose plant, and omits to 

 notice the three nerves and hence probably lost sight of its 

 affinity with his B. serrulata, a species so nearly allied to it, 

 thatexceptthe usually broader foliage of the latter,and its more 

 close narrow serratures (almost ciliae) not teeth, directed up- 

 wards, we can scarcely point out any difference. Capitula 

 exactly the same in both. It is undoubtedly the Molina Imearis 

 of Chamisso and Lessing, and according to De Candolle of 

 Poepp. (Coll. Chil. 2. n. 103). The original linearis, as we 

 believe, is a shrubby plant, well known by its vernacular 

 name of " Romaro," or Rosemary bush.
