r eg. 3, 4, r. — Bocks towards the summits of Pico Branco and 
P. de Conselho abundant, March-May. — A low tufted bushy 
shrub 4-8 or 9 in. high, with a stout very short stiff flexuose 
woody stem as thick often as the little-finger, dividing at a 
height of 2 or 3 inches into several short branches, each termi- 
nating in a thick rose-like tuft of spreading or recurved perfectly 
entire narrow linear leaves from ^ to 1 in. long and about a line 
wide, densely clothed with adpressed bristles, scabrous and harsh 
to the feel. FI. large and handsome in perfectly erect short 
numerous close terminal racemes 2-4 in. high, as large as in C. 
mutabilis Her. and of the same more or less deep lilac, but not 
in the wild pi. (so far as observed) either changeable or fragrant ; 
their pedic. not shorter than the sep. Style 2 lines long ; stigma 
capitate bilobed. Pods large 1-2 in. long and 1 line broad sub- 
quadrangular apparently smooth but really covered with short 
close-pressed bristles ; each valve with a prominent dorsal rib. 
— Cultivated in England by the Bev. M. J. Berkeley, it preserves 
in great measure its peculiar habit, the branches only becoming 
more lax and slender and the foliage less hoary. In gardens 
near the sea especially it thrives vigorously in the open air, and 
is very ornamental on rock-work, dowering abundantly in the 
summer, but perishing with the first autumnal frosts. In pi. 
kept in a greenhouse the fl. were larger and always lilac. In 
others treated more hardily they were smaller, and at first white.
