T3. Woody places at Calke, subject to doubt as to whether the name of 
latifolia or media should be employed, Purchas, J.B. Bretby, Gibbs. Repton 
Shrubs, Wild Fl. Rept. 
The limestone plant should perhaps be varietally distinguished from the 
type, as it in some features approaches EH. atrorubens, see Purchas, J.B., 
1885, 201.

This plant is in some respects intermediate between EH. latifolia and £. 
atrorubens. It has the broad rounded leaves of the former but rather more 
numerous lanceolate leaves between the lower leaves and the flowering spike ; 
the label is furnished with two side hunches and one median linear hunch 
descending lower than the side ones; in size and robustness it is like ZH. 
latifolia, its flowers are not rose coloured or not so much so as in EH. atrorubens. 
E. media of Bab. Man. is considered by J. Freyn (B. H.C. Rep., 1897) to be 
merely a form of #. latifolia, which view is held also by Rey. W. H. Purchas 
(J.B., 1885, 201), ‘‘ the larger and more general plant which Prof. Babington 
pointed out to me as his H. medis, but which better answers to his description 
of H. latifolia.” E. media, Bab. Man., 1874; Watson, Cyb. Brit., 1847.
