ERICA SANGUINEA. 
dus. Order. 
OCTANDRIA MONOGYNIA. 
A native of the Cape of Good Hope: itis 
difficult to name a particular time for its 
flowering, as in fact it is scarcely ever out 
of bloom, thus forming a distinguished orna- 
ment of the greenhouse throughout every 
season. It requires treatment similar to the 
other Ericas, and is propagated by cuttings ; 
soil, sandy peat. We remember to have 
bought our original plant of this fine species, 
many years since, at the sale of the late Lady 
Archer's plants at Ham Common in Surrey. 
Her Ladyship was a great encourager of 
Botany, and possessed a superb collection, 
particularly of this most beautiful tribe, to 
which she was extremely partial.
