No. 318. 
ANTHYLLIS ERINACEA. 
Class, Order. 
DIADELPHIA DECANDRIA. 
"This is a native of Spain and Portugal. 
It was cultivated in 1759 by Miller, but has 
probably been lost since that time, and 
within a few years re-introduced. It is not 
at all common at present, and to be seen in 
few greenhouses, although very ornamental. 
Tts height seldom exceeds nine inches or a 
foot, and before it is a quarter of that size 
it blossoms abundantly, generally in the 
month of May. It has not ripened any seed 
with us, but we have propagated it pretty 
well by cuttings. The most proper soil for 
it is sandy peat earth.
