Bryanthus (Greek, bryon, moss, and anthos, flower: growing among mosses). Ericaceae. Heath-like low shrub with pretty pink flowers, suitable for rockeries, but not yet in cultivation. Leaves evergreen, linear, remotely denticulate: calyx 4-parted; corolla rotate, 4-parted; stamens 8: caps, subglobose, 4-valved.—One species on Kamtchatka and Behrings Isls. The genus Phyllodoce has been referred by several botanists to Bryanthus, but it differs considerably in its urceolate or campanulate 5-lobed corolla, 10 stamens, 5-valved caps, and solitary or umbellate fls. This prostrate evergreen shrub has small needle- shaped leaves and small rosy pink flowers in peduncled, slender, 3-10-flowered racemes. Bryanthus will probably require the same treatment as Chiogenes, Loiseleuria and Phyllodoce. The only species is B. Gmelinii, Don. For illustration, see Pallas, Fl. Ross. 2:74 (as Andromeda Bryanthus). B. Breweri, Gray-Phyllodoce Breweri.—B. empetriformis. Gray -Phyllodoce empetriformis.—B. erectus, Lindl.-Phyllodoce erecta. —B. glanduliflorus, Gray - Phyllodoce glanduliflorus.—B. taxifolius, Gray - Phyllodoce taxifolia.
