This is evidently a shrub with long slender branches, much 

 resembling L. vimineum in habit, but distinguished by a different 

 floral structure : the leaves are 4 to 9 lines long; in Br. Gillies' 

 specimen they are not more than \ line broad, in Mr. Darvvin^s 

 they are i to | line broad: the very slender pedicels are 1^ line 

 long ; the calyx is narrow, somewhat pubescent, and 1 line in 

 length; the tube of the corolla is 1| line, the border 1 line 

 long; the stamens reach the length of the segments of the

The branchlets here are almost fihform, the leaves 2 to 2^ lines 

 long, \ line broad, the peduncle is 1~ line, the calyx of similar 

 length, the corolla 3 lines long, and the berry 2 lines in 

 diameter.
