A vast genus of over 400 species, the greater number of which are South 
African, and well known in European gardens as ‘‘ Cape Heaths.” Though 
several species are dispersed, and some (as L. cerinthoides) oceur from 
Capetown to Natal, the great bulk are found to the westward of Uitenhage, 
very many of the finest occurring in George and Swellendam. They 
usually grow on sandstone or in sand, and many are limited to very small 
areas.
