particularly examined some hundreds of the living shrubs on the 
heaths in Surrey and neighbouring counties, besides a number of 
herbarium examples from other countries than England. The 
result is, that the distinctive characters indicated for atlantica 
entirely fail when a sufficient series of specimens is under examina- 
tion ; those of ordinary vulgaris so shading off towards atlantica, 
as to leave little or nothing to keep them apart. In English 
Botany, a different dual division is adhered to; namely, into 
glabrata and incana, dissimilar in their extreme states, but quite 
connected by a series of intermediate states.
