A comparison of the hairs and internal tissues of the leaf has 
been made in FE. vagans, E. tetralix, FE. ciliaris and the eign 
hybrid vagans x teiralix. The following characters, which w 
noted in the specimens examined, do not carry much weight, but 
appear to suggest £. tetralix and E. vagans Bs parents, 
The glandular hairs of Mr. Williams’ plant are of the 
type as those of Erica tetralix, but are much shorter. Glandular 
hairs are not present in £. vagans. 
The heads of the glandular hairs are secant in the hybrid and 
in £. tetralix than in E. ciliaris. The amount of sclerenchyma 
accompanying the je discs vascular bundle is bate in the hybrid 
nd in £. tetralix than in £. ciliaris and £. vagans. e upper 
surface of the leaf (disregarding the apex, margin and base), may 
bear a fair number of. scattered clothing ha 2 in the hybrid. On 
the same part of the leaf, hairs are numerous in £. teirakz, absent 
or eta! absent in E. vagans and E, ciliar 
e hybrid heath the clothing hairs on the ‘petiole and margin 
of ab leat are short, and thus suggest F. ciliaris rather than 
FE. tetraliz, but this character may be due to the influence of 
E. ies, in which these hairs, where present, are very shor 
The anthers are like those of Z. vagans, and the pollen, or at any 
rate some of it, is bad
