No. 1703. 
ERICA SERRATIFOLIA. 
Class, Order. 
OCTANDRIA MONOGYNIA. 
A native of the Cape of Good Hope, in- 
troduced in 1796 : itis of low bushy growth, 
well covered with leaves, which are minute- 
ly toothed at their edges. It flowers at va- 
rious seasons, but generally in the latter 
parts of summer and autumn, lasting a very 
long while. It is readily increased by cut. 
tings, and should be potted in peat earth, 
requiring the usual protection, and as large 
a portion of fresh air as possible, for it will 
support any degree of cold short of actual 
frost.
