Staggek-bdsh (428) — Ly6nia mari^na (Pieris mari^na). Erica. The Heaths and Heather are all small-leaved, shrubby plants with usually small 4-lobed, bell- or urn-shaped flowers. The leaves are scale- or linear-shaped and arranged on the stems in alternate, opposite, or whorled positions. The fruit is a 4-ceUed capsule. But few are in culti- vation in the open in America because of our hot and dry summers. Only three have escaped and grow without cultivation. These are Euro- pean species, although those cultivated in Europe are mainly from South Africa. The African species are practically unknown in America except- ing in conservatories. The smaller leaves, the 4-lobed flowers, and the 4-celled fruit will sepa- rate the heaths from the andromedas. [Seeds ; twig cuttings.]. Fig. 429. —Pink Moor Heath. i. —Scotch Heath.
