220 ERICACEZ (Guthrie & Bolus), [ Erica. 
E. arachnoidea as a var. of E. hispidula, L., we suspect that the two may be 
the same. ‘his only affects the priority of name, and we have not been able to 
see Bartling’s type. This is certainly Klotzsch’s plant, and while we have some 
hesitation in separating it from E. cordata, we have none in distinguishing it 
from #. hispidula, L, 
317. E. inops (Bolus in Journ. Linn. Soc. xxiv. 186); erect, 
much-branched, 2-3 ft. high; branches pubescent, sometimes 
floceose with minute plumose hairs; leaves spreading, linear to 
narrow-lanceolate, obtuse, deeply sulcate, with a raised nerve on the 
flat upper surface, glabrous and smooth or roughly hispid with 
tubercle-based hairs, ciliate or naked, 11-3 (mostly 2-22) lin. long; 
flowers at the ends of short branchlets; pedicels 31—% lin. long; 
braet one only, approximate or subremote, sometimes subamplexicaul, 
sepal-like but smaller, pallid; sepals adpressed, narrow-ovate, acute, 
keel-tipped, cartilaginous, glabrous, mostly smooth and shining, 
whitish, from 2-2 the length of the corolla; corolla ovoid-urceolate 
to globose-urceolate, whitish, about 1 lin. long; segments rounded 
or deltoid, spreading, about 3 the length of the tube; filaments 
rather broad, shorter than the anther; anthers lateral, dorsifixed a 
little above the base, obliquely ovate, subacute, smooth, under + lin. 
long; pore small, less than + the length of the cell; style shortly 
exserted ; stigma peltate ; ovary hispidulous.

318. E. leucopelta (Tausch in Flora, 1884, 616); erect ; branches 
and leaves pubescent, or also hispid with scanty or dense, coarse, 
stiff, white, sometimes gland-tipped hairs; leaves erect. or spread- 
ing, oblong-lanceolate or linear, sulcate or very rarely subopen- 
backed, 1-21 lin. long; flowers mostly scanty, or at least not in 
dense masses ; pedicels }—3 lin. long; bracts remote, mostly 3, one 
rather large and foliaceous, and two usually small or very minute, or 
perhaps sometimes wanting; sepals linear or oblong, foliaceous, 
pubescent, hispid-ciliate or naked, about 4 lin. long; corolla broad- 
cyathiform or hemispherical, widened to the mouth, glabrous, smooth 
or minutely papillose, dull yellow, 1—% lin. long; segments erect, 
broadly rounded, equalling or slightly longer than the tube; fila- 
ments capillary, shorter than the anther; anthers subexserted or 
subineluded, elliptical or subovate, obtuse, smooth, pale brown, 
1-2 lin, long, muticous; pore atLout 4 the length of the cell; style 
included or exserted; stigma cyathiform or peltate, large ; ovary 
thinly hispidulous, glabrescent. EH. barbata, Hort. ex Tausch in
