No. 1733. 
ERICA TRIFLORA. 
Class, Order. 
OCTANDRIA MONOGYNIA. 
This was introduced in 1774 from the 
Cape of Good Hope: itis an upright bushy 
growing plant, and flowers plentifully in 
May. The flowers are delicate, but of 
course not so splendid as many other 
heaths ; nevertheless we consider every one 
of this favourite genus to be well deserving 
any pains which may be requisite in its cul- 
tivation. 
It requires the usual greenhouse. protec- 
tion, and does not strike by cuttings, but 
occasionally ripens seeds with us, by which 
it is numerously multiplied. The soil 
Should be peat, and abundance of water 
should be given to it in dry wether.
