filiform, flexuese, furnished here and there with a few rather long, scattered, patent or

pinnated appearance. The texture of both stems and branches is by no means brittle, 
and rather closely cellular; their color a dark olive green inclining to brown. 
The Leaves (f. 3.), which are bifarious and distichous, are rather loosely imbricated,
