small. Young snoots pubescent. 

 Bracteas (scales) oblong, hairy, 

 longer than the glabrous stalk of ^ 

 the glabrous ovary. Style as long a 

 as the stigmas. In the arrange- 

 ment of the kinds, this one may 

 stand between S. bicolor and S. 

 Dicksonidna, in both of which the 

 leaves are for the most part obso- 

 letely serrated, and of a figure 

 approaching to obovate with a 

 point. (Borrer.) An upright 

 much-branched shrub. Highland 

 valleys of Scotland. Height 4 ft. 

 to 5 ft. Flowers yellow ; April.

1478. S. phillyreif61ia. 



Stamens 2 to a flower. Ovary sessile, downy. Leaves bearing a considerable 

 resemblance to those of a Faccinium ; opaque ; the under surface glaucous. 

 Plants, small shrubs, usually procumbent, rarely erect. {Hook. Br. Fl. t 

 ed. 2., adapted.) It is probable that S. arbuscula L. is the same as one or 

 more of the four kinds, S. vacciniifolia Walker, S. carinata Smith, S. ^runi- 

 folia Smith, and S. venulosa Smith. (Borrer, in his manuscript list.)
