1 lin, long, aristate ; awns spreading, a little longer than the cells ; 
style included ; stigma capitate; ovary on a thick stipe about as 
long as itself, cells 2- (or sometimes 1-?) ovuled. Hremia rhodopis,

This has the aspect of the § Orophavies, from which it is separated by its 
distinctly stipitate ovary and some other characters. 
Section IX. CERAMUS. (Sp. 96-100.) 
96. E. incarnata (Thunb. Diss. Erica, 50, not of Andr., nor of 
Benth.) ; erect, a foot or more high; branches virgate, subflexuous, 
thinly villous ; leaves 3-nate, adpressed or slightly spreading, narrow- 
ovate, obtuse, somewhat concave on the upper surface, glabrous, 
11-12 lin. long; flowers usually 3-nate, more rarely in 5—6- 
flowered umbels, erect or suberect ; pedicels slender, glabrous, about 
3 lin. long; bracts leaf-like, narrow-lanceolate, acute, the two upper 
approximate, adpressed, the lowest at or near the base, larger and 
more spreading ; sepals narrow-lanceolate, acute, glabrous, margins 
naked, 12 lin. long; corolla inflated-urceolate, not tapering but 
suddenly contraeted at the neck, or narrow-ovoid, 8—42 lin. long ; 
limb spreading, small; segments rounded; anthers oblong, some- 
what incurved, slightly prognathous, a little over 3 lin. long; pore 
about tof the cell; cristate at the base ; crests lanceolate, acuminate, 
dentate on the outer margin, about 4+ the length of the cell; ovary 
upon a stipe of about its own length, or in some specimens longer, 
and about 2 of its own diameter. H. amana, Salisb. Trans. Linn. 
Soe. vi. 329, not of Wendl.

We have compared this with Thunberg’s type, which Bentham does not appear 
to have seen. The plants so named by him, or distributed by others under this 
- name, are forms of E. Savilea, trom which this differs by the position of its 
bracts, by the shape of its sepals, anthers and their appendages, and by the 
longer and narrower stipe of the ovary. The pedicels, bracts and sepals, and 
in some specimens the flower-buds, are uniformly deep red. 
97. E. Savilea (Andr. Heathery, t. 238); about 1 ft. high, 
much branched; branches pubescent; leaves 4-nate (or sometimes 
3-nate, Bentham), linear, subtrigonous, acute, glabrous, ciliate, 
especially the younger, with long soft hairs, 1-3 lin. long; umbels 
3--4-flowered ; pedicels slender, puberulous, 3-4 lin. Jong; bracts 
remote, linear, small; sepals lanceolate, acuminate, keeled, scarious- 
edged ; corolla urceolate or ovoid-urceolate, throat much contracted, 
glabrous, dry, 4—5 lin. long; limb broad, under 1 lin. long; anthers 
broad-cuneate, purple, 4-} lin. long, very minutely cristate or 
aristate, the appendages not reaching below the base of the cells;
