ERICA § PLEUROCALLIS [family ERICACEAE]
Information
Inflorescence axillary, rarely both axillary and terminal; flowers mostly crowded below the ends of the branches, sometimes lax. Bracts mostly small, rarely somewhat large. Corolla usually tubular, from 6–12 lin. long, rarely shorter, glabrous or hairy, dry or viscid. Anthers usually included, rarely subexserted or exserted, lateral, rarely terminal, appendiculate or muticous. Leaves 6-nate, scattered or 4-nate. Stout shrubs, often of virgate habit, 1–3 ft. high. null
Notes
Species 12–35. Mr. Scott-Elliot (Ann. Bot. iv. 270) observes that “probably the whole Pleurocallis section is ornithophilous.” EXCEPTIONS: inflorescence terminal and axillary in E. annectens; bracts rather large in E. gilva, and E. sessiliflora; corolla short, 6 lin. or less in E. filipendula var., coccinea var., conica, regia var., casta, nematophylla, and filamentosa; anthers subexserted in E. longisepala, purpurea, sometimes so in E. coccinea, pinea, and vestita, and exserted in E. exsurgens, grandiflora, sometimes so in E. vestita.
