with habit of Ericas and Empetrum , flowers 
capitate without involucre , but many cilia te 
imbricate bracts , calix large membranaceous 
5fid subequal campanulate, corolla nearly as in

of many sp. but now I know of only one type. 
All the Satureias are foreign to America.

altho’ he neglected naming it like so many other 
rare plants of his.
