vered with brown, umbilicate, bran-like scales, as is every other part of the

 A native of Georgia, Florida, and Mexico, in pine woods, where it grows to 

 the height of from 3 ft. to 5 ft., and flowers in June and July. It was in-

Spec. Char., $c. Arborescent, evergreen. Leaves crowded, coriaceous, rigid ; 

 their petioles short ; their disks cuneate-lanceolate, acute, entire, convex, 

 with revolute edges, and clothed with brown, umbilicate, bran-like scales, 

 as is every other part of the plant. Flowers produced, in Britain, in April 

 and May, axillary, several together. Corolla globose, white inside. Closely 

 akin to L. ferrugfnea; but the two are distinguishable by their different 

 habits, especially by their times of flowering. (Don's Mill., iii. p. 831.) 

 There are plants at Messrs. Loddiges's kept under glass during winter.
