No. 1717. 
ERICA TENUIFLORA. 
Class. Order. 
OCTANDRIA MONOGYNIA. 
This is a native of the Cape of Good 
Hope: it was one of the many fine Heaths 
which were collected about the years 1801 
and 1802, by Mr. Niven, for George Hib- 
bert, Esq. In splendid appearance it must 
certainly yield to many sorts, but it has the 
(among Heaths) rare property of being ex- 
ceedingly fragrant, and more particularly 
so in the night, which makes it very accep- 
table. 
It requires no other treatment than is re- 
commended for the rest of this elegant 
Genus, and like most of them may be in- 
creased without much difficulty by cuttings.
