An everblooming shrub with a sticky exudation on sts. and over the young fl.-buds: branchlets slender and drooping: phyll. linear-subulate, 3/4-1 in. long, 1/8in. wide, 1-nerved, ending in a pungent point; gland at base: fls. lemon-yellow, with peduncles 1/4in. long, solitary in axils of the phyll., 30 or more in a head: pods straight, slightly constricted between seeds, 2-3 in. long, nearly 1/4in. wide, pointed at both ends and bearing two rough longitudinal marks over each seed, characteristic of this species; funicle silvery white, half as long as seed and enlarged into a cup-shaped aril over one end; ripe June-Nov. Fls. every month. F. v. M. Icon. 1:8.—This attractive shrub is easily grown from seed, germinating in about three weeks and growing steadily. It is delightful for situations that demand a low-branching habit. Its everblooming fls., honey-like odor and dust-resistant qualities also recommend it. CH
