This is a dry, arid-looking shrub, that I found growing on 
the Paramille of Mendoza, in January, 1825; it is about 3 
or 4 feet high, almost leafless, with numerous, erect, virgate, 
very flexuose branchlets, which are angular, resinous, and 
somewhat glutinous, with internodes about din. apart; the 
leaves are extremely deciduous, very minute, linear, scarcely 
more than a line in length, and extremely narrow. The 
flowers are smaller than those of F. imbricata, solitary, 
erect and terminal, upon the younger branchlets. The 
calyx is tubular, 3 lines long, with 5 erect linear teeth 
one third of its length; the corolla is tubular, slender, 
a little swollen at base, rather funnel-shaped in the 
mouth, 9 lines long, of a yellowish-white colour, quite 
glabrous, with a 5-lobed border, the segments being short, 
rounded, and reflected. The filaments are slender, arising 
from the base of the corolla, to which they adhere for a short 
distance, being somewhat dilated at base, they are nearly the 
ength of the tube, 3 being somewhat shorter, they are sud-
