| Notes: | Label source: Chili. P.J. 23.4.1892. Label source: The specimens received consist of a woody stem with somewhat crowded coriaceous leaves less than 1 inch long and oblanceolate in outline, the widest portion of the leaf being less than 1/2 inch across.I, n the broadest part, which is above the middle, the leaf has two or three short triangular teeth, and it tapers below into a slightly amplexicaul base. Both the stem and leaves present a varnished appearence due to its extruded resin. The taste is faintly, aromatic, resembling slightly that of patchouli, but without bitterness. The plant is a native of the high Cordilleras of the province of Coquimbo. Its medicinal properties appear to be due to the prescence of the resin. Internally it is employedin the f, orm of an infusion as a stimulant in weak digestion. It is also reputed to possess emmenagogue properties.
