SPECIFIC CHARACTER.
Heath, with beardless tips without the blossoms, and tapering into filaments, which are flat. The blossom is conical, of a blood colour, having the segments of the mouth upright, and pressed to the threads. The leaves grow by threes.
DESCRIPTION.
Stem upright, a foot and a half high, rough, branching but little at the base. The smaller branches are scattered.
Leaves grow by threes, blunt-ended, rather downy, channelled underneath, having very short foot-stalks pressed to the branches.
Flowers grow by twos and threes at the end of the smaller branches, hanging down, forming a beautiful spike near the middle of the larger branches. The foot-stalks are short, without floral leaves.
Empalement. Cup double, and coloured; the outer three-leaved, the leaves of a broad oval-shape, the ends greenish: the inner is four-leaved, broader and larger than the former.
Blossom cone-shaped, near an inch long, smooth, deep red; the segments of the mouth upright.
