No. 1742. 
ERICA TROSSULA rubra. 
Class. Order. 
OCTANDRIA MONOGY NIA. 
Native of the Cape of Good Hope; in- 
troduced by Mr. Lee about 1812. It is an 
exceedingly beautiful kind, upright in its 
growth; the flowers are produced in the 
utmost profusion; usually during the 
months of April and May. 
It requires protection from severe cold 
in an airy greenhouse, but in all temperate 
weather should be exposed as much as 
possible. It will propagate by cuttings, 
and should be potted in rather large pots 
in peat earth. —
