Excerpt from The Heather in Lore, Lyric and Lay by Alexander Wallace A more opportune time, perhaps, could not have been chosen in which to tell the absorbing nature story of the Heather than this year, the centenary of the council at which Science, in its discernment, removed from the plant its ancient and ill - deserved appellation of Erica, and clothed it with its pres ent designation of Calluna, so much more truly ex pressive of its unique beauty and charm. No attempt has been made to enter fully into the botanical or cultural details connected with the plant: These have been treated only in a casual man ner; still, it is hoped sufficient information has been given to prove serviceable. The effort has been rather to cull from the multitude of references to the Heather abounding in Scottish and other literature, and to weave the sprays thus gathered into a literary gar land the beauty and attractiveness of which shall lie in the depth of the sentiment pervading it, and in the aroma of patriotic love that it exhales.
