This is a very doubtful native ; indeed Lindley says that it is not 
a British nor even a European species, It is remarkable for its very 
silky capsules and long footstalks. “ After gathering, the young 
leaves especially exhale a strong scent, like the flavour of bitter 
almonds, but less agreeable.”—Smith. 
Group 7. Rosmarinifoliz. Borrer. Small erect shrubs. Leaves

A slender upright shrub, from two to three feet high, with erect 
slender branches, downy when young. Leaves linear lanceolate,

smooth and green, silky when young, glaucous beneath, and more or 
less silky, becoming black with drying, footstalk short, thick, with an 
erect rather large obliquely ovate stipule at the base. Catkins when 
young sessile, in fruit recurved on a short leafy branch, becoming 
more erect. Scales small, ovate, obtuse, fringed, dark coloured.

stalk. Style short, thick. Stigmas deeply cloven.
