Varieties. De Candolle distinguishes three forms of this species: H. F. major, H. F. minor, and 
H. ¥. virgata, 
Spec. Char.,&c. Stem branched, twisted, rather diffuse, 
erectish ; lower branches procumbent. Leaves al- 
ternate, linear, with pilose, roughish, rather involute 
margins; lower leaves short, crowded, upper ones 
scattered and longer. Peduncles solitary, 1-flow- 
ered, rarely rameal, usually almost opposite the 
leaves, or terminal, longer than theleaves. Capsules 
open, naked. (Don’s Mill. i. p. 307.) A shrub 
1 ft. high, a native of the south of France, of Swit- 
zerland, Italy, Spain, and Portugal; and cultivated 
in England since the year 1752. It flowers in June 
and July, and is distinguished by its heath-like 
leaves and ovate petals. It is a very desirable 
species for growing in pots, or for the south side of 
rockwork. Sweet says it is often confused with 
H. procambens, but is readily distinguished when both are growing toge- 
ther. The true H. Fumana was in the Chelsea Botanic Garden in 1825.

as well as the under surface; strigose. Peduncles almost axillary, shorter 
than the leaves. Capsules open, bearing the seeds. (Don’s Mill., i. p. 307.) A 
native of the south of France, Italy, and Tauria; and cultivated in the Chelsea 
Botanic Garden in 1825, where it produced its small yellow flowers from 
June to August. Uses and culture as in the preceding species.

linear-oblong, hairy, almost sessile. Peduncles solitary, 1-flowered, almost 
opposite the leaves, rameal or terminal. Calyxes hairy. (Don’s Mill., i. p. 
307.) A native of Arabia, Spain, and Italy, where it is a trailing shrub, 
seldom exceeding half a foot in height ; though it acquires double that height 
in British gardens, where it produces its yellow flowers in June and July. 
It was introduced before 1826, as plants of it flowered in that year in the 
Chelsea Botanic Garden.
