A pp. V. List of a few of the larger Specimens of exotic Heaths, 

 cultivated in the Royal Botanic Garden, Edinburgh ; with their 

 Dimensions, Sfc., as taken from the Plants* 12th July, 1836, 

 Communicated by Mr. M'Nab. 



The use of this list is, to give an idea of what height the species will attain, if planted against a con- 

 servative wall. In all probability, they would attain double the height, planted in the ground, and 

 trained 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 aspect ; in order to moderate 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 Erica?, 

 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 .Erica 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.
