Erica persoluta, Linn. Fig. 1414. Essentially a white-fld. and very variable species, particularly as regards hairiness: lvs. erect or spreading, hirsute or glabrous: corolla small, originally 1½ lines long; lobes ovate, 2-3 times shorter than the tube, the sinuses acute, narrow. S. Afr. The numerous varieties Bentham found impossible to separate either in the wild or in cult. Var. hispidula, Benth. Slightly hirsute: lvs. 2½-3 lines long, rough: anthers sub- ovate. Var. laevis, Benth. Lvs. shorter, blunter, often appressed, glabrous: anthers subglobose. Var. subcarnea, Benth., has the corolla- lobes more evident. To this last variety Bentham seems to refer most of the horticultural varieties cult. under the name of E, persoluta. E. assurgens, Lank, he refers to the first variety; E. caffra of Linnaeus to the first, but of L.B.C. 2:196 (and the trade?) to the second. E. regerminans of Linnaeus is a distinct species (figured in L.B.C. 17:1614 as E. Smithiana); of the trade = E. persoluta var. hispidula; of L.B.C. 18:1728=E. persoluta var. subcarnea. Flowers in Feb and March, while other related species mostly flower in March and April.
