| 释义 | > as lemmashe-heather Some recent botanical writers have essayed to limit the originally local names heath, ling, heather, to different species; but each of these names is, in its own locality, applied to all the species there found, and pre-eminently to that locally most abundant. On the Yorkshire and Scottish moors, the most abundant is E. vulgaris, which is therefore the ‘common ling’ of the one, the ‘common heather’ of the other. But in other localities, esp. in the south-west, E. cinerea is the prevalent species, and is there the ‘common heath’. Scottish distinctions are dog-heather, he-heather ( E. vulgaris), carlin heather, she-heather ( E. cinerea).extracted from heathern.< as lemmas |
