. Botany for ladies; or, A popular introduction to the natural system of plants, according to the classification of De Candolle. Plants -- Classification. 110 ERICACEAE. [part I. anthers stuck together, and the manner of their opening, which is always by a pore or round hole, in the upper extremity of each cell. The filaments, also, in all the genera, except Vaccinum and Oxycoccus, grow from beneath the seed- vessel, being generally slightly attached to the base of the corolla. There is always a single style with an undivided stigma, though the cap- sule has generally four ceils, each containing several of the seeds, which are small and nume- rous. The calyx is four or five cleft, and the corolla is tubular, with a larger or smaller limb, which is also four or five cleft. The order has been divided into four tribes, which I shall describe in this chapter, though some of these are considered as separate orders by Dr. Lind- ley and other botanists. TRIBE I.—ERICE^. This tribe, which comprehends all the heath- like plants, has been re-divided into two sub - tribes, one con- taining the ge- nera most nearly allied to the heaths, and the other those be-. —The Besom Heath (Erica Tdralix)..
