It is not that I think this and the last speeies of Pyrola at all confined 

 to the stations given, that I confine myself to them ; but because 

 the two species have been so generally misunderstood and con- 

 founded, in consequence of imperfect descriptions and figures, that 

 I fear we cannot put the strictest reliance on the stations that have 

 been given. This is the smaller of the two, and essentially distin- 

 guished by the shortness of the style, and its large radiated stigma, 

 quite included within the concave corolla. The plant under the 

 name of P. minor in E. B., is a very bad figure, with spreading 

 flowers and acute petals. That of P. rosea is a good figure of the 

 true minor. Flowers in both a pale rose-colour.
