Cladothamnus (klados, branch, and thamnos, bush, from the Greek). Ericaceae. Shrubs, rarely cult. for their handsome pink fls. Erect, with many virgate branches: lvs. deciduous, alternate, entire: fls. pink, terminal, 1-3, nodding; corolla divided to the base or nearly so into 5 oblong petals; stamens 10: caps. 5-6- celled.—One or 2 species in Pacific N. Amer., from Alaska to Wash. Hardy, with handsome rather large pink fls. in summer; rarely cult. They will probably grow best in peaty and sandy soil, in a half-shady position; prop, by seeds or by cuttings of soft wood under glass, and by layers. C. pyrolaeflorus. Bong. Shrub, 4-10 ft.: lvs. nearly sessile, obovate-lanceolate, mucronulate, glabrous, pale green, 1½-2⅓ in. long: fls. solitary, with 5 separate petals, 1 in. across. Alaska to Ore. G.F. 10:215. B.MT 8353.—C. campanulatus, Greene. According to Greene, this species differs from the preceding chiefly in the petals being united at the base and the anthers opening with a pore at the apex, and occurs in Wash., while C. pyrolaeflorus is restricted to Alaska, but the specimens from Ore. and Wash. do not differ from C. pryolaeflorus; possibly C. campanulatus was based only on an abnormal form.
