which to form varieties. The smaller flowered forms verge towards E, Walkeria 
in § Callista. Andrews’ t. 231 looks distinct, but is possibly merely a garden 
hybrid ; this species having been much in cultivation. From the great number, 
and the porcelain-like texture of its delicately coloured flowers, it is one of the 
most beautiful of heaths, and a fine pyramidal bush of 6 ft. high was once seen 
by the writer, covered from base to apex with thousands of flowers. HE. ventri- 
eet var. bothwelliana, Carr. in Rev. Hort, 1882, 363, probably belongs 
ere. 
Section X. CALLISTA. (Sp. 101-111.) 
101. E. Lawsonia (Andr. Heathery, t. 267); erect, 1-2 ft. high ; 
branches slender, subvirgate; leaves erect, acute, keeled, puberu- 
lous, ciliate, 14—2 lin. long ; flowers mostly solitary on short lateral 
branchlets, forming a pseudo-raceme (or rarely 4-nate, ex Bot. Mag.', 
subsessile; bracts approximate, leaf-like, scarious-edged, 1-24 lin. 
long ; sepals lanceolate-linear, acuminate, scarious, about 3 lin. long; 
corolla-tube cylindrical (or when old, somewhat inflated at the base 
round the swollen capsule), mouth not contracted, dry, puberulous or 
glabrous, red, 5-7 lin. long, 2 lin. broad; segments ovate-lanceolate, 
acute, about 2 lin. long; anthers oval, 1-1 lin. long, muticous.

The specimens last cited have a more slender corolla-tube than others, and 
also longer than those described by Bentham. There is, however, no doubt of 
their identity. :
