No. 63. 
ERICA PROPENDENS. 
Class. Order. 
OCTANDRIA | MONOGYNIA. 
Another charming species from the Cape 
of Good Hope, introduced about 1806. It 
flowers in the spring months, and few plants 
can vie with it in beauty, even in that pro- 
lific season. In its habit it is rather delicate, 
and it rarely grows to any considerable size. 
It must be potted in sandy peat, and kept in 
an airy greenhouse in the winter. The 
usual mode of increasing it is by cuttings, as 
seeds have not yet been perfected in this 
country.
