Class, Order. 
OCTANDRIA MONOGYNIA. 
We raised this charming plant from Cape 
seeds about the year 1792; since which it 
has regularly flowered with us every year in 
the autumnal months. The blossoms are 
covered with a kind of clammy varnish, 
which makes them glitter, especially when 
the sun shines, thus increasing their beauty 
very much. Soil and treatment the same as 
the other Ericas. Being rather a slender 
plant, this will generally require the support 
of a stick; propagated by cuttings or seeds; 
the latter it does not seem to perfect in this 
country; at least we have never been able 
to obtain any from our plants,
