No. 153. 
ERICA ORBICULARIS. 
Class. Order. 
OCTANDRIA MONOGYNIA. 
This is another of those called Blæria, 
and we believe makes, with our No. 85, the 
only two species which are at present in à 
living state in this country. We raised a 
third sort some years since from Cape seeds ; 
but it has been long entirely lost. Our 
present plant blows freely in autumn an 
beginning of winter. The orbicular heads of 
the flowers make a very neat appearance : it 
has been known in this country some years, 
is propagated by cuttings, and requires the 
greenhouse with plenty of air: soil, light 
sandy peat.
