No. 23. 
ERICA SEBANA. 
cbe Order. 
OCTANDRIA | MONOGYNIA. 
A native of the Cape, whence, it is said, in 
the Kew catalogue, to have been introduced 
in 1774. We remember to have first ob- 
tained this fine species from the late Mr. 
Sikes of Hackney, who possessed a very 
capital collection of plants. This is one of 
the autumnal flowering sorts, being in per- 
fection from August, or September, fre- 
quently till December: itis propagated b 
cuttings, though with difficulty; on which 
account it has never been very plentiful. 
'The same kind of soil and treatment is re- 
. quisite as for the other Heaths.
