pollen of some other species, probably by an insect. This 
is, however, only conjecture : for though Mr. Turneutz is 
in the habit of impregnating the flowers of several heaths 
with the pollen of others, yet he is certain that the parent 
of this was not so treated. All the other plants but this 
have wiry flexuose stems and branches, and are so shy of 
flowering, that the best of them has only a few blossoms, 
while the present individual has quite a lively appearance 
from the profusion of them. 
Descr. The plant from which our drawing was made, 
and indeed the only one raised by Mr. Turnsutt, is two and 
a half feet high: the stems and older branches clothed with 
reddish-brown bark. Leaves quaternate, rarely ternate, 
spreading, linear, mucronate, keeled, and with a furrow 
on the keel at the back. Flowers terminal, three to four 
together, rarely five, forming small umbels at the ex- 
tremity of short copious lateral spreading branches, droop- 
ing. Pedicels short, with about three, ovate, pale-white 
and rose-coloured imbricated bracteas. Sepals four, similar 
to the bracteas in every respect, but larger and broader, 
appressed to the corolla. Corolla four-cleft, broadly cam- 
panulate, of a delicate but full rose-colour. Stamens 
included, erect or slightly incurved. Anthers ovate, red- 
brown, awnless ; cells acuminate, opening by two large 
_ oblique pores. Germen globose, five-lobed ; style much 
exserted ; stigma a little spreading.
