No, 594. 
ERICA CALYCINA,. 
Class. Order. 
OCTANDRIA MONOGYNI4. 
We raised this charming little species in 
the year 1792, from seeds received from the 
Cape of Good Hope, in the neighbourhood 
of which it was found in a wild state. 
It is a very dwarf kind, and flowers co- 
pionsly even when not more than four or 
five inches in height, commencing in the 
month of October, and remaining in bloom 
the whole winter, and sometimes the spring 
also. The flowers are lively, and their 
corolla is almost enclosed in the calyx, 
which retains its colour for a great length 
of time. 
It may be increased, although slowly, by 
cuttings, and must be potted in sandy peat 
earth, and kept in an airy greenhouse during 
the winter.
