No. 124. 
ERICA BARBATA, 
Class, Order. 
OCTANDRIA MONOGYNIA. 
This was introduced in 1799, by George 
Hibbert, Esq. It is by some called barbata 
major, under which name it has been 
figured by Mr. Andrews. It is rather un- 
certain in its season of flowering: our draw- 
img was made in April, but we have some- 
times had it in bloom in the middle of 
winter. Itisa very neat species, a native 
of the Cape, requiring an airy situation in 
the green-house, with plenty of water, and 
to be potted in sandy peat earth. It may 
be propagated either by seeds or cuttings.
