Frutex, ut videtur, parvus; ramis tortuosis, crassiusculis, vetustis 
cicatricatis glabris, junioribus foliosis, lanato-villosissimis. 
olia fasciculata, coriacea, lato-lanceolata, seu oblongo-lanceo- 
lata, utrinque sed subtus praecipue fuscescenti-tomentosa, 
brevissime petiolata. Flores fasciculati, ad apices ramulorum 
congesti. Calyx dense pubescens. Stamina sub-20, exserta; 
menta quam in aliis speciebus longiora. Fructus cauda 
elongata, sericeo-villosissima instructus. 
This very distinct species of Cercocarpus has only hitherto 
been found by Mr Nuttall, on the Bear River, one of the numer- 
ous tributaries of the Rio Sacramento which falls into the Pacific 
Ocean at San Francisco.
