No. 1982. 

 ERICA HISPIDA. 



Class. Order, 



OCT A NDR 1A MO NOG YN1A 



A native of the Cape of Good Hope : we 

 raised a single plant of it from seeds re- 

 ceived thence in 1792, and it flowered 

 within two years afterwards. 



It is a slender quick growing kind, 

 making many loose branches, which pro- 

 duce flowers near their tops in June and 

 July. 



It requires an airy greenhouse, increases 



freely by cuttings, and should be potted in 

 sandy peat earth.
