gum. 



The plant is a low- 

 growing shrub not over 2' 

 high, with small, white, 

 strawberry-like flowers;

 dissected and fern-like.

 hot water to make tea used for rheumatism, skin eruptions, etc, ; 

 leaves also used in a decoction for coughs and colds. Sometimes

 growth, but resinous leaves unfortunately make it a fire hazard.
