 Bentham's »P. ericiflora« is, however, a mixture of three 

 very characteristic and at first glance easily distinguishable 

 species. The relation of P. ericifolia R. Br. and P. scabri- 

 uscula Meissn. was already correctly pointed out by Diels 

 (1. c. 133—134) who designated the latter as a distinct spe-
