Herb. Mrs. Paris
Cremolobus pinnatifilum - Wilkes Expd. 1838-42
Peru.
C. suffruticoso - Chili, Donbey 619 (Type)
There are three sheets all seemingly of the
Donbey collection. The on one sheet appear
the notation Chili & et Peru but they spec.
lieve to be from one or the other. My guess is
Chili because that appears on the specimen
that De Candolle actually annotated.
The lower portion of the specimens show a semi-
woody quality - rather soft + pumky as if
from under-ground or something. At any rate,
I doubt if the plant was a tall woody shrub.
The leaves and all suggest a maritime situation.
longest stem = 4 dm. glabrous; leaves probably
fleshy, thickish but not markedly so, glabrous,
dark green to blackish, petiolate, dentate, 2-4
cm. long, 1-2 cm. wide; raceme 1-2.5 dm.
long. crowded; slender pedicels divaricate, nearly
straight, 1.5-2 cm. long; silique very erect,
stipitate, indus. fruit ca. 4 mm. in diam., glabrous.
wing ca. 1 mm. wide, crenate dentate; style
3-4 mm. long.
