118 ROSACEAE. 
FALLUGIA. Apache Plume. + 
(Family Rosaceae). 
Small shrubs: evergreen. Twigs 
terete, slender, with splitting 
creamy outer cortex, becoming 
red-brown:. pith minute, round. 
Buds small, solitary, sessile, ovoid, 
with 2 widely parted outer scales. 
Leaf-scars alternate, half-round, 
minute, much raised: bundle- 
trace 1: stipule-scars lacking or 
indefinite at top of the leaf- 
cushion. Leaves small, pinnately 
3- or 5- lobed, very revolute, not 
glandular. 
Fallugia differs from Cowania 
and Purshia in having normal 
buds, while those of the latter 
genera usually develop into spurs 
that remain covered by the bases 
of fallen leaves as in the hybrid 
barberry. It is attractive when 
bearing its plumed fruits, but is 
not commonly seen in gardens. 
Twigs glabrescent: leaves often loosely hairy. FF. paradoxa.
