Hab. About Edgefield, on a loamy soil, and on the heath at Hempstead-hill, Norfolk. 
Rev. R. B. Francis. — Not unfrequent in various parts of Norfolk and Suffolk, in shady 
places, under the trailing stems of Erica;. 
Obs. It produces capsules in May and June. In the early part of the spring, Mr. Francis 
finds plants bearing anthers. 
Plant, when fertile, generally found in small and rather dense tufts : barren individuals more 
frequently grow distant and straggling. 
Root a few whitish, pellucid fibres, proceeding here and there from nearly the whole 
length of the under side of the plant. 
Stems from half to three-quarters of an inch long, simple, sometimes, though rarely, 
once or twice forked, flexuose, procumbent, their apices erect only when in a state of 
fructification, or when the shoots are crowded together. Their color is a reddish 
brown. 
« 
Leaves, in fertile plants, rather closely imbricated, especially towards the extremity ; in 
barren ones, generally more distantly placed, always bifarious, horizontal, about half a 
line long, of a roundish figure (f. f. 5. 6), divided into two nearly equal, conduplicate, 
and, with regard to the stem, vertical lobes , which, however, are not so closely folded 
as those of J. nemorosa and J. undulata : each of them is convex on its outer surface ;
