No. 3. 
ERICA LAMBERTIANA. 
Class. Order. 
OCTANDRIA MONOGYNIA. 
A native of that inexhaustible store-house 
of vegetable riches, Sout rica. It is a 
very interesting species: the name has been 
given in honour of A. B. Lambert, Esq. a 
vice-president of the Linnæan Society. The 
waxy appearance of the flowers adds greatly 
to their beauty. They are in perfection 
during the autumn months: indeed, some 
years we have remarked their continuance 
during the greater part of the winter un- 
faded: should be kept in an airy place in 
the green-house; soil, light sandy peat. 
We very much wish to direct our friends 
to a greater facility of cultivation of this 
most extensive genus, so unrivalled for ele- 
gance, and every varied form and colour. 
In future numbers we shall occasionally 
attempt to point out a few things which 
may be useful to such as desire to adorn 
their green-houses with this charming family, 
some or other of which are in full flower at 
every season of the year.
