THE HEATH FAMILY. 



1. One-flowered Wintergreen. Pyrola uniflora, Linn. 

 (Fig. 635.) 



(Eng. Bot. t. 146.) 



Leaves of the common W., but rather 

 smaller. Flower rather large, always 

 solitary on the peduncle, drooping, 

 nearly white, and very fragrant; the 

 petals ovate, slightly connected at the 

 base. The pores of the anthers form 

 little protruding tubes much more pro- 

 minent than in the other species, al- 

 though they are sometimes observable 

 even in the common W. Style nearly 

 straight, with a broad, 5-lobed stigma. 



In woods, in northern and Arctic Eu- 

 rope, Asia, and America, and along the 

 high mountain-ranges of central Europe. 

 Yery scarce in Scotland, and unknown 

 in England or Ireland. Fl. summer.

2. Larger Wintergreen. Pyrola rotundifolia, Linn. 

 (Fig. 636.) 



(Eng. Bot. t. 213.) 



A larger plant than the common W., 

 with larger and whiter flowers, and the 

 petals more spreading, but chiefly dis- 

 tinguished from it by the long, pro- 

 truding, much curved style, usually at 

 least twice as long as the capsule, with a 

 much smaller stigma, with short, erect 

 lobes. 



In similar situations and with nearly 

 the same range as the common W. ; 

 extending further into central Asia, but 

 not so frequent in Europe, and rare in 

 Britain. Fl. summer.
