metr., flor. Oct., Bolus No. 5453. 
The flowers are a pure white. The species has nearly the 
flowers of E. physodes, but smaller and more delicate; it is also 
allied to .E. odorata, Andr., having similar leaves and the very 
short stamens of that species.

metr., fl. Mart., legi, No. 5344. 
Flowers blood-red. This species must come next to E. decora, 
Andr., which it much resembles, although the flowers are 
certainly both terminal and lateral. It has not the corolla of 
§ Pachysa, with which in some technical characters it better 
agrees, and besides the flowers of that group are always terminal. 
Erica ($ Cerama) Tysont, Bolus, n. sp. Fruticulus spitha- 
mus, gracilis, decumbens, scabrido-hirsutus. Folia terna, 
lineari-lanceolata, breve petiolata, superne glabra, dorso sulcata,
