Fig, 375, ERICA VENTRICOSA, 
E. Maweana (Mawe's). fl. purplish-crimson, produced in 
clusters, after the manner of those of E. Tetralix and E. ciliaris. 
Autumn. Stems sub-erect, much-branched, forming soft, orna- 
mental bushes, lft. to 1sft. high. 1882. Hardy. Probably a 
@ hybrid. 
E. Mooreana (Moore’s).* jl. in large, terminal umbels of a dozen

E. orbicularis (orbicular). A synonym of Bleria ecricoides. * 
E. sicula (Sicilian). A synonym of Pentapera sicula. 
E. vulgaris (common). A synonym of Calluna vulgaris. 
E. Wilmoreana,. Of this species there are several varieties, 
including calyeulata, glauca, and superba. ° 
The following changes of nomenclature haye been made by 
modern botanists : 
E. alopecuroides is a form of, or synonymous with, FE. nudiflora.

ERICALA. A synonym of Gentiana (which see), 
ERICOILA. A synonym of Gentiana (which gee). 
ERIGERON. Including Leptostelma. All the Eri- 
gerons in cultivation are worth growing where space can 
be found for them, either on the rockery or in the front row 
of a sunny border. They blossom over a long period and 
until late in the year. -The seeds should be sown in 
early summer outside, and the divisions may be made in 
either spring or autumn. LF. awrantiacus is one of the best 
species grown, being very showy and very dwarf; another 
excellent kind is FE. speciosus swperbus (3ft.), which 
blossoms towards the end of summer. The flowers of many 
kinds are excellent for cutting. To the species described 
on pp. 526-7, Vol. I., the following should be added. 
E. mucronatus is a very floriferous and pretty border 
plant. Cuttings should yearly be put into a cold frame, 
in case the old plants outside are killed during the winter. 
E. alpinus (alpine). 7.-heads purple, solitary or corymbose; 
rays rarely exceeding the reddish pappus. Summer. J., radical 
ones petiolate, spreading, obovate or oblong-obovate; cauline 
ones usually sessile, obovate or oblong. A. lft. Europe 
(Britain), &c. Hardy perennial. 
E. a. grandiflorus (large-flowered).* l.-heads purplish, large. 
Late summer. A fine rockery plant. 
E. a. semibarbatus (half-bearded). /l.-heads 2in. to 3in. in 
diameter ; rays twice as long as the pappus, the tube furnished 
with long hai d., cauline ones half-amplexicaul or narrowed 
at base. Western Himalayas, &c. Probably E. Roylei is 
synonymous with this. 
E. atticus (Attic). A synonym of EF. Villarsii. 
E. bellidifolius (Bellis-leaved). .-heads bluish-purple, few, 
corymbose, larger than in EF. philadelphicum ; rays about fifty, 
much broader. March and April. JZ, radical ones clustered, 
2in. to 3in. long, obovate or broadly spathulate, serrated or 
entire; cauline ones oblong or lanceolate-oblong, partly 
amplexicaul. A. Yin. to 20in. North America, 1790. Hardy 
perennial. (B. M. 2402.) 
E. caucasicus. The correct name is E. pulchellus. 
E. glabellus mollis (soft). /l.-heads 
rose-coloured, large 
Colorado, 1896, Plant pubescent.
