The leaves are glaucous, peculiarly harsh and rigid, the bark 
dark brown, slightly pruinose in the younger branches.

almost twice the size of this, and much broader; the spines 
more distant, and the bark much paler and redder. The 
flowers are very small, arising from the axils of deciduous scales 
(of which the gemme are seen in our figure), thus forming a 
short raceme, of which the axis, or peduncle, is clothed with 
silky wool,
