No. 1294, 
ERICA THALICTRIFLORA. 
Class. Order. 
OCTANDRIA | MONOGYNIA. 
This curious species was introduced in 
1800, from the Cape of Good Hope, by Mr. 
Hibbert. Its flowers, which are so dissi- 
milar from most of the other heaths, are 
produced in the latter part of the summer. 
It requires the greenhouse, with abundance 
of air, and can be propagated, —— 
slowly, by cuttings: the soil should b 
sandy peat.
