This little shrub has many characters in common with the 
Condalia microphylla, Cav. from Chili: but the size and struc- 
ture of the flowers and of the fruit are different, and the leaves 
are much less pointed than in that plant. It is indeed unques- 
tionably a Colletia, having all the characters of that genus, 
unusually leafy it must be confessed; and the leaves are 
glaucous, or almost white beneath. ;
