Kittric: Lacerata agilis

Cross-leaved heath and the fine-leaved heath which is frequently found growing with heather or ling and frequently called 'bell heather' are the only two heaths which are common in the British Isles.

The cross-leaved heath is found on the damper and peaty parts of moors and heathlands.

The somewhat hairy leaves are placed cross-wise on the stem.

The rose-coloured wax-like flowers of this species are all turned to one side of the stem instead of surrounding it as in the fine-leaved heath or 'bell heather'.
