ERICA SANGUINOLENTA. 
Class. Order. 
OCTANDRIA  MONOGYNIA. 
This plant has a sombre appearance at 
a little distance, but when minutely exa- 
mined is highly interesting. It is of dwarf 
growth, not often exceeding six or eight 
inches in height, but very bushy, and flow- 
ering most profusely during the summer 
months. The flowers are hairy, and of a 
rough consistence, remarkably open at the 
month. 
It must be kept like the other kinds in 
freely 
should be sandy peat, and a moderate al- 
lowance of water.
