for the profusion of bright yellow flowers with which its 
long slender branches are laden. It does not grow above 
2 or 3 feet high, and is easily propagated by layers. Its 
native country is unknown. 
The differences that exist between this and C. elon- 
gatus are as follow: — The /eaves are villous and green 
beneath, not closely downy and silvery; the peduncles are 
longer than the petioles or as long, and not much shorter; 
the vevillum is ragged, emarginate, and wavy, not obcor- 
date, flat, and entire; and, finally, the flowers are much 
larger, and always produced in threes or fours, and not ° 
usually solitary, or at the utmost produced in threes.
