Folia decussata appressa vel subpatentia, 11 mm. longa 2| mm. lata 

 coriacea crassa, a latere inferiore (exteriore) convexa a latere superiore 

 (interiore) concava, basi ad, \ connata perobscure carinata, supra subacute 

 rotundata, a marginibus delicate ciliata. 



Flores baud visa. 



Capsulae in capitulis brevibus densis terminalibus dispositae ca. 1 cm. 

 longis, bracteae foliis similes sed tenuiores ; calyx capsula + \ brevior 

 in lobos 4 ciliatos coriaceos sulcatos oblongos obtusos apice rotundatos 

 + inaequales divisus, duobus exterioribus majoribus ; capsulae sessiles 

 glabrae obtusae late ellipticae 3 mm. longae. 



A round-headed compact erect shrub, 18-24 in. high, and as much as 

 18 in. across near the top. 



■ Stems moderately stout, freely branched above, older branches terete 

 closely and uniformly ringed by the scars of fallen leaves, younger terete 

 or obscurely tetragonous, stiff, erect, very closely clothed by the short 

 appressed or subpatent imbricating leaves. 



Leaves in opposite decussately arranged pairs, 1^ mm. long, 2|- mm. 

 wide, rather thick, coriaceous, convex and shallowly ribbed on the outer 

 (lower) side, concave on the inner (upper) side, connate for about \ their 

 length, subacutely rounded at the tips, very obscurely keeled, delicately 

 ciliate at the edges (except in age), marked by a shallow groove along the 

 base on the outer (lower) side. 



Flowers not seen. 



Capsules glabrous obtuse, broadly elliptic, 3 mm. long, sessile, forming 

 small compact pale-brown terminal heads about 1 cm. long ; bracts similar 

 to the leaves, but thinner ; calyx about J shorter than the capsule, deej)ly 

 divided into 4 ciliate coriaceous grooved oblong obtusely rounded unequal 

 lobes, the two outer lobes larger.

This plant appears to have been in cultivation for a number of years, 

 but its wild habitat was till recently unknown. Its nearest relative is

Annual 1 Stems erect, sparingly branched, + 12 mm. long, very slender, 

 terete, sparsely glandular-pubescent, usually giving off 2 short branches 

 from the lowermost axils and flowers from the others. 



Leaves few, in rather distant opposite pairs, 3 mm. long or less, lanceo- 

 late-elliptic in general outline, almost glabrous obtuse or subacute, cut- 

 into 3-5 rather large lobes that are recurved at the edges.
