A small tree, closely resembling P. ovalifolia in leaves, flowers and fruit. The 
leaves are hardly more villous beneath than in some forms of P. ovalifolia; the calyx- 
teeth are very narrow downwards, only shortly connate ; the corolla is rather wider; 
but it is definitely separated by the absence of horns at the apex of the filament.

lanceolate serrate glabrous, racemes panicled, calyx-teeth broadly lanceolate, 
corolla scarcely pubescent without. DC. Prodr. vii. 599. Andromeda formosa,

Corolla broadly campanulate; lobes 5, short, imbricated in bud, entire or

placentas pendent from the upper inner angles of the cells, many-ovuled. 
Capsule ovoid or oblong, woody or coriaceous, 5-celled, loculicidally 5-valved. 
Seeds few perfect (and often many imperfect) in each cell; testa crisped, mem-
