ERICA TETRAGONA. 



This is a native of the Cape of Good 

 Hope, and we believe was first introduced 

 by Mr. Richard Williams, about 1800. It 

 has many slender flexible branches, from the 

 upper parts of which the flowers are pro- 

 duced, during the latter months of the sum- 

 It requires an airy greenhouse, with 

 sandy peat soil, and will strike root with 

 facility by cuttings.
