98. L, oxycedrus, Sond. in PL Pre'm. i. 321. A shrub of 1 to 3 ft., 

 ^'ith erect or more frequently spreading branches, glabrous or minutely pu- 

 bescent. Leaves linear oblong or oblanceolate, or when short almost ob- 

 ovate, shortly tapering into a small pungent point, narrowed at the base but 

 usually sessile, flat or slightly convex, finely veined underneath, \ io ^ in. 

 long. ^ Peduncles axillary, short, bearing 1, 2 or very rarely 3 flowers, 

 spreading or recurved at the time of flowering, erect when in fruit. Bracts 

 small I bracteoles broad, obtuse or minutely raucronate, not half so long as 

 the calyx. Sepals nearly 1^ lines long, dry, narrow, obtuse or almost acute. 

 Corolla nearly 4 lines long, reddish outside, the tube considerably longer 

 than the calyx, with the lobes erect at the base appearing like a continuation 

 J^f it. Anthers attached about the middle or near the top, without sterile
