214 ERICACEH (Guthrie & Bolus). [ Erica, 
over } the length of the cell; style exserted ; stigma capitellate ; 
ovary obovate, shortly and sparsely puberulous, or ‘ glabrous.” 
Benth. in DC. Prodi. vii. 680. 
Souru Arrica: without locality, cultivated specimen from Loddiges ! 
Little is known of this species, which has been described from Loddiges’ 
garden specimens only, and the material is scanty. It seems well-marked, 
Sinclair describes the anthers as subexserted, but they are not so in the specimens 
we have seen, nor does Bentham mention the character.

308. E. Woodii (Bolus in Journ. Bot. 1894, 237); habit various, 
branched from the base with diffuse spreading branches, 6-8 in. 
high, or with erect, virgate or subsimple branches, 12-18 in, high ; 
branches puberulous or hispidulous, sometimes both intermixed, the 
longer hairs generally more or less compound (subplumose or bi-

there with a few terminal flowers at the ends of the branches or on 
the short, produced, lateral branchlets ; pedicels curved, about 1 lin. 
long; braets remote, small, occasionally one wanting; sepals linear,
