‘We find no account of. this pretty little Hearn rarely 
exceeding a foot in height, except in the Botanical Cabinet, 
where it is said to have been introduced about the year 1808. 
Native of the Cape of Good Hope. In many points resem- 
bles very much Erica fragrans, but js more erect, less 
branched, and the branchlets are short, growing by threes. 
The limb of the corolla is concave, spreading, and not rolled 
back as in jfragrans. Nor could we perceive that it was 
endowed with any scent. ; .
