This species has a good deal of affinity with Blandfordiana, 
and densa of ANprews. From the latter it is distinguished by 
the corolla being more cylindrical, widest at the base, but 
not at all bellied in the middle, and by its leaves being 
shorter, more rigid, and not glossy ; from the former, by the 
colour, which in that is a bright yellow, as well as by other 
less striking characters. i : 
We should perhaps have been inclined to consider all three 
as varieties, but our friend Mr. Georce Loppices, who has 
them frequently under his eye, has no doubt of their being 
specifically distinct. ; 
Native of the Cape of Good Hope. Requires the same 
treatment as other Cape Heaths. Flowers in May and June.
