The root fixes itself so firmly in the fissures of the 7 
rocks, that the plant can scarcely be pulled up. The 
stem divides immediately into branches, that are very 
much subdivided, and form a very close head, the 
shoots having numerous spines, both terminating and 
lateral. The berries are used for dyeing leather yel-

generally supposed to be coloured by them. 952, cebAmans infectorius,
