IVo. 1817. 



ERIA ROSEA. 



Class. Order. 



G > NA NDRJA MONANDRIA . 



A native of China, brought by Mr. Parks, 

 in 1 824, to the Horticultural Society, whence 

 we derived it. Preserved in the stove, it 

 grows freely, and flowers in the autumn and 

 winter. 



It will occasionally separate for increase, 

 and should be planted in vegetable earth, 

 with a small portion of sand, and if possible 

 kept out of the reach of slugs and wood- 

 lice, which are both great enemies to it.
