414 ERICACE (Brown). [ Scyphogyne. 
The corolla is much more exserted in Schlechter 7748 than in any other 
specimen examined ; in some it is no longer than the calyx, but in these it may 
be immature. 
12. S. viscida (N. EH. Br.); an erect shrub; ultimate branchlets 
spreading, 3-11 in. long, glandular-pubescent ; bark reddish-brown ; 
leaves 8-nate, spreading, 1-13 lin. long with the petiole, 4—3 lin. 
- broad, linear or ovate-oblong, with a sessile concave-truneate gland © 
at the apex, glabrous, very viscid, ciliate with 3-5 long gland-tipped 
hairs on each side; flowers in very short terminal oblong or sub- 
globose heads or spikes, sessile ; calyx obconic or somewhat top- 
shaped, unequally 4-lobed, about as long as the corolla-tube with the 
longer lobe exceeding it, 2 lin. long at the shorter part, puberulous ; 
lobes subtruncate, minutely apiculate, ciliolate, the larger often 
mueh produced and leaf-like; corolla * lin. long, somewhat pear- 
shaped, often more or less oblique, 4-lobed, glabrous ; lobes equila- 
terally triangular, acute, erect; stamens 4, as long as the corolla- 
tube ; filaments free, slender ; anthers 1—2 lin. long, subrectangular, 
or quadrate, broadly notched at the apex, free or connate at the 
lower part, sometimes adhering to the corolla; ovary ovoid, minutely 
puberulous on the upper part, tapering into the very stout conical 
puberulous style ; stigma just exserted, large, peltate, entire.

13. S. micrantha (N. E. Br.); probably 12 ft. or more high, with 
stout main branches, densely much branched above; branchlets 
slender, erect, often flexuose, very minutely subtomentose to sub- 
glabrous, greyish, becoming brown ; leaves 3-nate, erect or ascending- 
spreading, usually longer than the internodes, 14-2} lin. long, linear, 
acute or subacute, slender, glabrous; flowers 1-3 together, axillary 
or on very minute axillary branchlets, shorter than the petioles of 
the leaves subtending them, subsessile; calyx usually about 3 lin. 
long, rather broad and shallow, truncate at the base, unequally or 
subequally 4-toothed to the middle, usually glabrous or sometimes 
puberulous on the same specimen ; teeth ovate, acute, or the larger 
one sometimes with a linear point, very minutely ciliate; corolla 
much exceeding the calyx, 3 lin. long, subovoid or subglobose- 
campanulate, 4-lobed, thin, usually glabrous, but sometimes puberu- 
lous on the same specimen ; lobes 3-4 as long as the tube, incurved, 
deltoid-ovate, obtuse or rounded; stamens 4-8, included ; filaments 
free or very shortly and irregularly connate at the base; anthers 
connate, about + lin. long, subquadrate or oblong, notched and very 
minutely scabrid or subhispid at the apex, not subglandular as 
originally described ; ovary ovoid with a minute tuft of hairs at the 
apex, l-celled; style slender, arising by the side of the tuft and 
becoming more and more oblique or sublateral as the ovary enlarges 
‘and becomes more globose, when it bends over to the apex of the 
ovary ; stigma very large in proportion to the ovary, peltate, crater-
