 divaricate or shortly virgate branches. Leaves crowded or densely imbricate, 





to 4 lines long, rigid and almost acerose, with pellucid points. Flowers 

 from a greenish- to an orange-yellow or perhaps red, solitary on the short 

 branchlets, sessile within the terminal leaves, wliich are longer than the

 mdrical, at first closed, but splitting more or less on the iipper side, the 

 lobes all shorter than the tube, connivent or scarcely spreading, the wings 

 short and united at tlie end, with the terminal macro at the back. Capsule
