No. 96. 
ERICA SAVILLLE. 
Class, Order. 
OCTANDRIA MONOGYNIA. 
This beautiful species is from the Cape of 
Good Hope, and was first introduced by Mr. 
Hibbert, about 1800, but has never been 
very plentiful. 
Its season of flowering is the latter part 
of summer, when it is literally covered with 
its rich and splendid blossoms. ; 
The plant is not of a robust habit, and is 
very frequently so overloaded that it is inca- 
pable of recovering itself. It should have 
an airy greenhouse in winter, and plenty of 
exposure to wind and weather. It is propa- 
gated by cuttings, and must be potted in 
sandy peat soil,
