ERICA OVATA. 
Class. Order. 
OCTANDRIA MONOGYNIA. 
This was received from the Cape of Good 
Hope about the year 1810. It needs the 
same care and protection as the other 
species, and, like them, must be potted in 
sandy peat earth. It admits of increase by 
cuttings, and in winter must be kept in the 
greenhouse. The whole plant and flowers 
are covered with fine down. Its season for 
blooming is the spring, and it remains for 
a long time in abundant beauty, most 
pleasing to behold, nese:
