Botany. Ehododendron. Transverse section of ovary (mag.). Rhododendron. Rhododendron. Embryo Style and stigma (mag.). (mag.).. Ehododendron. St-imen with anther- cells perforated at the top (mag.). Rhododendron. Seed, entire and cut longitudinally (mag.). the ovules are numerous and anatropous, the style is simple, the capsule loeulicidal, the albumen fleshy, the emhryo straight and axile, the stem woody, and the leaves alternate. The diagnosis rests on little beyond the polyandry of the one and the diplostemony of the others. Ericinece are scattered over the globe. A few species of Heath inhabit Central and Northern Europe, covering immense otherwise sterile tracts. The number of species increases in the Mediterranean region, and is very considerable at the Cape of Good Hope. There are no Ericas in America, Asia and Australia, in which [latter country] they are replaced by Epaorideis. Arbutus and Andromeda, genera with a deciduous corolla, inhabit the north temperate zone; they are rare in Central Europe and the Mediterranean region, and abound in North America, where they descend towards the tropics and even cross the tropic of Capricorn. In tropical Asia they are sub-alpine; they are very rare in Australia, but several species occur in New Zealand. RhodoracecB chiefly inhabit the temperate and cool regions of the northern hemi- sphere, and especially of America. Some are found on the highest mountains of tropical America and Asi
