delicate little plant, growing on the bare, somewhat rocky banks 
along the central ridge to about eight inches in height. Its beautiful

411. *W. linifolia, A.D.C. ; Boella linifolia, Roxb.— Another of the 
indigenous plants, bearing beautiful large white bell-shaped blossoms. 
Pound at Diana’s Peak, as well as generally and abundantly on the 
central ridge, amidst ferns and other indigenous plants; grows to a 
shrubby plant from two to three feet high, and sometimes parasitic 
on the Tree Fern. Its pure white flowers and light-green foliage 
contrast beautifully with the deep crimson blossoms and dark-green 
leaves of the exotic Fuchsia coccinea, as they now grow together. 
This is the most abundant species of the three, and flowers nearly 
all the year round. H. L. Alt. 4 to 5. Plate 48. 
412. *W. Burchellii, A. D.C.; Boella paniculata , Roxb. — A species 
less abundant, but found in similar situations to the last mentioned. 
It grows less shrubby and more upright to a height of three or four 
feet, and blossoms in July, the flowers being pure white, and inter- 
mediate in size between the other two species. H. L. Alt. 4 to 5.
