This plant has very near affinity with Erica ¢enuiflora of the 
Hortus Kewenfis, from which it differs, not only in the colour 
of its flowers, but in having ciliated leaves and an exferted 
fligma. In many refpeéts it correfponds alfo with Erica 
Jerrulata, though the form of the corolla removes it into a dif- 
ferent fection. 
Our drawing was made from a plant communicated by 
Mr. R. Sweet. We have been favoured alfo with a fpeci- 
men of the fame, from Meffrs. Lez and Kennepy, under 
the name that we have adopted, and from which our defcrip- 
tion was taken.
