ANALYTICAL DRAWINGS OF THE CORNEL FAMILY AND THE 
HEATH ORDER — continued. 
The fourth line represents the nearly-related Strawberry-tree ( Arbutus Unedo 
Linne). Fig. i is a flower, natural size and drooping, as in nature. Fig. 2 shows 
two of the eight stamens and the gynaeceum in the earlier position, when the hairy 
filaments have an outward bend, the anthers are inverted, with their closed pores 
and awns downwards, and their bases attached to the style by the little viscid pivoting 
point. Fig. 3 represents the later stage after the filaments have bent inwards, 
inverting the anthers till their pores press against the style, while the pivoting points 
have disappeared from their bases. Fig. 4 is a single mature stamen, very similar 
to that of Andromeda ; and Fig. 5 is a section, natural size, through the yellow pulp 
of the superior, red, five-chambered berry. 
The fifth line deals with the Whortleberry (V actinium Myrtillus Linne), Fig. 1 
being a flower, natural size ; Fig. 2, the same enlarged, in longitudinal section, 
showing the inferior ovary, disk, and epigynous corolla and stamens ; Fig. 3, the 
gynaeceum, natural size ; Fig. 4, the same, enlarged, with the stamens ; Fig. 5, the 
same, still further enlarged, to show the insertion of the stamens and the pressing of 
the long tubes of the anther-chambers against the style ; Fig. 6, a stamen, enlarged ; 
and Fig. 7, a section, also enlarged, across the five-chambered berry. 
In the three remaining rows of figures, the flowers are all enlarged and are 
represented, as are the dissections of the previous rows, in an erect position, not 
pendulous, as in nature. The sixth line represents the Ling ( Calluna vulgaris Hull), 
Fig. 1 being a flower, showing three of the four bracts, the long coloured sepals, the 
short corolla, and exserted stamens and style ; Fig. 2 indicates the relative positions 
of the essential organs when the floral envelopes are removed ; Fig. 3 is a single 
stamen, showing the long sub-terminal pore and the hairy awns ; and Fig. 4, the 
lobed ovary, with the style and stigma. 
The penultimate line deals with Erica cinerea Linne, Fig. 1 being the whole 
flower ; Fig. 2, the essential organs ; Fig. 3, the gynaeceum ; Fig. 4, a stamen ; 
Fig. 5, the calyx, with bracteoles ; Fig. 6, an enlarged sepal and bracteole ; and 
Fig. 7, a transverse section through the four-chambered ovary, showing the placentas 
radiating from the centre. Unfortunately Figs. 2 and 4 are not quite large enough 
to show the serration of the awns of the anthers. 
The last line represents the closely allied species Erica Tetralix Linne, the Cross- 
leaved Heath, Fig. 1 being the whole flower ; Fig. 2, a sepal, showing the long 
glandular hairs ; Fig. 3, the essential organs ; Fig. 4, a stamen, the awns of which 
are not toothed ; and Fig. 5, the gynaeceum.
