Lots of debris can catch in those little corners, including the dead flowers from the spike!

Thanks very much for your quick replies, i have posted a couple of pictures on my site if they will help you to identify what they are. my camra isn't very good
but if you magnify the pic's you can clearly see they are seeds, there are hundreds of them in every branch. They are in a brown case and when broken open there is the little black seed.

They've been blown or just dropped into the leaf junctions, Fatdave - I found peanuts in one this year, lol!

Probably seeds. Coryline need 'spring cleaning' by removing old leaves and debris like seeds. This can be a challenge when they're several metres high. Incidentally, it's a good idea to remove the flower spike once it's over.

Previous question
A photo would be good - it may be the seeds from something else which have blown into the leaf junctions.
