For this very rare Heath, we are indebted to Mr. Knight, 

 Nurferyman, in the King's-Road. 



In Mr. Dryander's new arrangement of the fpecies 01 

 this genus, above referred to, it comes under his fourth divifion, 

 the Calycina % or fuch whofe calyxes are as long as the tube 

 of the corolla, fometimes as the whole corolla, or even longer ; 

 and of a different colour than green in all, except in £-• 

 capitata, in which they are yellowifh green ; and in the firit 

 feftion with Anthers criftata>, or fuch as have appendages* 

 roundifh or oblong and ferrulate. In all the fpecies of this 

 feftion the leaves are ternate, except in E. fquamofa. 



Erica An drome da flora grows with its branches ereft, ap" 

 proaches in affinity to glanca and elegans, between which Mr* 

 Dryander has placed it. Native of the Cape. Flowers in
