between 
deriving its parentage in part from the Cistus Bhododendron, and in part from some sort of 
Phyllodoce. It is not, however, to the Blue Phyllodoce that we should refer it, but rather to the 
Crowberry Phyllodoce, published by Dr. Graham in the Botanical Magazine under the name of 
Menziesia empetrifolia , afterwards altered by Sir W. Hooker to M. Grahamii. At first sight, indeed, 
one would say that the Upright Bryanth was the same plant — leaves, manner of flowering, manner of

very sharp-pointed instead of being blunt ; and, above all, the corolla has no tube whatever, but

In this respect it seems 
and is at variance with all the Phyllodoces, which, the Crowberry Phyllodoce included, have a distinct 
separation, by means of a contraction, between the tube and the limb. 
We therefore conclude that this Bryanth may be a cross between the Cistus Ehododendron and 
the Blue Phyllodoce ; owing its larger flowers, with the more delicate colour, to the influence of the 
former.
