I have not seen this species. Klotzsch also includes Erica plumosa, Thunb., 
in the synonymy, but Rach in Linnza, xxvi. 789, separates that under the name 
of G. Thunbergii, and it is possible that the plant of Aiton may not belong here. 
2. G. hispida (Klotzsch in Linnea, xii, 226) ; branchlets puberu- 
lous, sometimes intermingled with longer hispid hairs; leaves 
4-nate, usually slightly spreading, 11-2 lin. long, }—} lin. broad, 
linear-oblong, subacute, at first minutely puberulous all over, ciliate 
with long hispid hairs and with 2 or more rows of deciduous 
Similar hairs on the back, finally nearly glabrous and minutely 
echinate-tuberculate ; flowers in dense globose terminal heads 5-53 
lin. in diam.; pedicels 4 lin. long, bracteate at the middle ; 
bracts applied to the calyx, very unequal, the middle one about 
1} lin. long, lanceolate to broadly-ovate, with a thickened leaf- 
like tip, the lateral pair shorter and linear or linear-lanceolate, all 
minutely puberulous and ciliate with long hispid hairs; calyx 
1+ lin. long, obeonic-campanulate, 4-angled, lobed to half-way down ;
