This very charming Heath was communicated from the 
choice collection at Bothwell Castle, in May, 1837, having 
been raised from seeds of E. florida, by the very intelligent 
gardener, Mr. Turnsut, in May, 1835. The plant is thus 
only two years old, and in size, for it is now two and 
a half feet high, and in the profuseness and beauty and 
expanded form of the blossoms, in the foliage, and in the 
straightness and vigour of the branches, it is so much 
superior to the other plants of E. florida raised from the — 
same lot of seed, and cultivated with precisely the same 
care and attention, that Mr. Turngutt cannot but suspect — 
that the seed yielding the individual in question had been 
the produce of a flower which was fertilized with the — 
pollen : ,
