SPECIFIC CHARACTER.
Heath, with beardless tips, without the blossom, and very long; the blossom is club-shaped, an inch long, and yellow; the cup is tiled; the leaves grow by threes.
DESCRIPTION.
Stem very upright, harsh, very little branched; the smaller branches are short, and numerous.
Leaves grow by threes, are linear, blunt, and are bundled together at the end of the small branches; the foot-stalks grow close to the branches.
Flowers terminate the smaller branches about the middle of the larger ones, by twos and threes, and are bent inwards; the foot-stalks are very short, having three floral leaves, which seem to form part of the cup.
