yellow ; calyx thickly covered with rigid hairs ; this extremely handsome 

 plant, certainly the finest of the genus (not even excepting L. nootkatensis) ,

 scofa/rium^ on the wild and beautiful heaths of England ; 18 inches to 2 J 

 feet high ; often producing a spike of perfect blossoms a foot to 15 inches, 

 as the specimens in the collection will show ; I beg the former name will 

 be adopted after Mr. Turner.
