About 40 years ago these plants grew to a height of 13 to 2 ft. with flowers 
in proportion; but since the introduction of sheep the species has dwindled 
in size. On a few outlying islands on which there are no sheep the plants 
still attain their original size. The hillsides are covered with these{most 
fragrant white, or occasionally lavender-coloured, flowers during early 
summer (November).
