bushy, juniper-like shrub, closely resembling- C. acerosa, but with smaller and 

 finer leaves althon^li equally rigid and pungent, and the flowers on recurved 

 pedicels of 1 to 2 lines, with the corolla-lobes bearded inside with long, scat- 

 tered hairs. Bracts very small, upppr ones less enlarged than in the other 

 species, and only 1 or 2 (bracteoles ?) reach the calyx, which at first induced 

 lue placing the plant in L'mauthe, but the flower appears to be constantly 

 terraiual and solitary without the additional rudimentary one of Lmanfhe and
