No. 64. 
ERICA LUTEA. 
es Order. 
OCTANDRIA MONOGYNIA. 
A Native of the Cape of Good Hope; 
whence it was first introduced, with many 
more sorts, into the Kew Garden, by the cele- 
brated Mr. Masson, in 1774. Although so 
long known, it has never been plentiful, and 
is now very rare. It blooms freely in the 
autumnal months. This is one of the very 
few kinds of Ericas with opposite leaves. It 
is of humble growth, and requires the green- 
house, with plenty of air: may be propagated 
by cuttings. Soil, light sandy peat.
