A pp. V. List of a few of the larger SpccimcJis of e.xotic Heaths, 

 cultivated in the Itoijal Botatiic Garden, Edinburgh ; with their 

 Dimensions, ^r., as tahen from the Plants, 12th Jidy, 1836. 

 Communicated by Mr. M'Nab. 



Theuseof thislistis, togivean ideaof what height the species will attain, if planted against a con- 

 servative w.nll. In all i)robability, they would attain double the height, planted in the ground, and 

 trauicd to a wall, of what they do as standards in pots or tubs in a glazed house. The wall ought to 

 have an eastern or western asi)ect ; in order to modeMte the temperature of the hotter summer 

 months, and to avoid the direct influence of the sun in spring and autumn, when the plants are 

 covered with hoar-frost. The plants in the Edinburgh Botanic Garden are all known as £r'icaB, 

 though we have given them Mr. Don's new names ; "but those who do not approve of these ap. 

 pellations, have only to substitute the word £rlca for the new "generic name, the specific names 

 generally not having been changed ; where both names have been changed, we have given the old 

 ones in parentheses.
