Spec. Char., §c. eaves 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. ferruginea ; but the two 
are distinguishable by their different habits; especially by 
their times of flowering. (Don’s Mill.) An arborescent 
evergreen shrub or low tree. Carolina and Florida, in barren 
sandy woods. Height 15 ft. to 20ft.; in British gardens _ 
3 ft. to 5ft. Introduced in 1744, Flowers white; April 
and May. Capsule brown.
