No. 1844. 

 ERICA VILLOSIUSCULA. 



Class. 



OCTANDRIA 



Order. 



MONOGYNIA 



A native of the Cape of Good Hope, 

 lately introduced by Mr. Lee. It is a 

 pretty little plant, growing very bushy, 

 and flowering abundantly in May. The 

 flowers are covered with a kind of silky 



down. 



It requires the usual treatment of an 

 airy greenhouse, and cuttings of it strike 

 without difficulty. The soil should be 

 sandy peat.
