Phyllodoce (after Phyllodoce, a sea nymph mentioned by Vergil). Ericaceae. Mountain Heath.Ornamental low shrubs grown for their handsome flowers.

Evergreen prostrate and ascending shrubs: lvs. alternate, crowded, linear: fls. in terminal umbels, or axillary, nodding on slender pedicels; calyx 5 parted, small; corolla urceolate or campanulate, 5 lobed; stamens 10: fr. a many-seeded caps., dehiscent into 5 valves. Six species in arctic regions of N. Eu. and N. Asia, in N. Amer. in the Rocky Mts. south to Calif. Often united with Bryanthus, which is easily distinguished by its 4 cleft rotate corolla.

The mountain heaths are heath like, with small leaves and handsome delicate flowers often appearing in great profusion. They are perfectly hardy, but do not thrive under ordinary conditions;they are best grown in a rockery in peaty and moist soil shaded from the mid-day sun and they like cool and moist air. The hybrid P. erecta is more vigorous and less particular; it is therefore better known in cultivation than the true species. Propagation is by seeds in spring in peaty soil or cut sphagnum and kept moist and shady, also by cuttings in August under glass or by layers.

P. Breweri, Heller (Bryanthus Breweri, Gray) Allied to P.empetriformis. Corolla larger, divided to the middle; stamens exserted; fls. axillary, forming terminal spikes. Calif. B.M. 8146. P. glanduliflorus, Howell (Bryanthus glanduliflorus, Gray). Allied to P. ooerulea. Lvs. glandular: fls. ovate urceolate, sulfur- yellow, pubescent outside. Ore. to Alaska and Sitka.
