A Chilean collection of this narrow-endemic shrub of the pea family locally known as mayo, though with none of the plainness of its homonymic counterpart. This boasts the lovely elongated golden bells one loves the genus for but adds in evergreen foliage, and of a richly lustrous dark green no less. This of course comes with the caveat of less-than-hardiness, with those plants grown in the UK favoring mild coastal spots, though the genetics of this batch have yet to be winter tested. A lovely bit of exotica for the adventurous type or beneficiary of the Bay clime.
