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 

 CupressuSf than of a plant of the Nat. Ord. CompositcB. 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 

 white or flesh-coloured. Allied, perhaps, to S. ovata. Lag.

I 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, 

 as represented in the figure of the root-leaf, in the plate above 

 quoted.
