ERICA VIRIDESCENS. 
Class. Order, 
OCTANDRIA MONOGYNIA. 
This was introduced from the Cape about 
the year 1804. The singular hue of its 
fiowers forms a contrast with the lively 
colours, which in general prevail in this vast 
genus. It blows in the spring, continuing 
a long while, and is readily increased by 
cuttings. It should be potted in sandy 
peat mould, and kept in the greenhouse in 
winter, treating it as the other kinds.
