No. 192. 
HUDSONIA ERICOIDES. 
Class. Order. 
DODECANDRIA MONOGYNIA. 
This was named by Linnæus in honour of 
William Hudson, author of Flora Anglica. 
It is a curious little plant, a native of North 
America. According to Pursh, it covers 
large tracts of sandy pine-woods, in a similar 
manner to common heath, to which, when not 
in bloom, it bears some resemblance. It 
is difficult of culture, as our friend Mr. Carr 
assures us that when planted in gardens, even 
in the vicinity of its native places of growth, 
it does not live long. 
We have kept it in a shady situation in 
pots, in coarse white sand, which seems to 
be its natural soil. It flowered wi us from 
May to July. 4 3
