Periploca-flowered Heath. Fl. May, Dec. Clt. 1812. Shb. 
Cult. Elegant shrubs when in blossom, like all the other 
genera of the order. Turfy peat, mixed with sand, is the best 
soil for the species; and young tops root readily, if planted 
in a pot of sand in spring, with a bell-glass over them, in a 
moderate heat. When the plants have grown a considerable 
size, the balls of earth should be raised a little above the surface, 
so as to prevent water from remaining at the top of the stem, 
and the pots in which they are grown should be well drained. 
Il: GYPSOCA'LLIS (from yuwoc, gypsos, lime, and cadAto- 
toc, kallistos, most beautiful; the plants are very elegant, and 
generally inhabit calcareous districts). Sal. mss. D. Don, in 
edinb. phil. journ. 17. p. 153.—Erica species of authors. 
Lin. syst. Octdndria, Monogynia. Calyx 4-parted, gluma- 
ceous, naked at the base. Corolla campanulate, or short-tubu- 
lar, with a dilated mouth. Stamens exserted ; filaments flattened 
or filiform ; anthers bipartite ; having the cells mutic at the base, 
distinct and substipitate, dehiscing by an oblique pore. Stigma 
simple. Capsule 4-celled, many-seeded.—Small shrubs, natives 
of Europe and Africa, with whorled acerose leaves, and lateral 
or terminal crowded flowers. This genus is easily distinguished 
from Erica in the exserted anthers, flattened filaments, an 
simple stigma. 
§ 1. Anthers mutic at the base, that is, without any horns, awns, 
or spurs. 
* Leaves 4 in a whorl. Corollas campanulate. 
1 G. va'cans (Salisb. mss. ex Don, in edinb. phil. journ.

racemose ; bracteas remote from the calyx; pedicels usually 
twin; corolla short, campanulate. h.H. Native of England,
