 {n. 465.) FL Oct. and Nov. 

 A small, apparently procumbent shrub, allied to fl. prosirata, 



Hook, chiefly differing in its elongated stems, which are about a 



foot long, but with the branches attenuated and virgate, densely 



clothed with fascicles of leaves, not inaptly resembling those of 



the larch. Flowers large and handsome, yellow, nestled, as it 



were, among the leaves. s
