No. 1686. 

 ERICA BEAUMONTIANA. 



Class. Order. 



OCTANDRIA MONOG YNIA 



This was raised by Mr. RoUisson, who 

 has named it in honour of Mrs. Beaumont, 

 whose celebrated garden at Bretton Hall, 

 in Yorkshire, is well known to most plant 

 collectors. 



It is a dwarf kind, bushy, and flowering 

 abundantly in the beginning of summer. It 

 requires the usual protection of a light airy 



n 



greenhouse in winter, and will strike by 

 cuttings slowly. The soil should be peat.
