ERICA ELONGATA, 
Class. Order. 
OCTANDRIA MONOGYNIA. 
This sort was introduced about the year 
1810, from the Cape of Good Hope, of 
which it is a native. It grows slender, with 
few branches, and flowers from November 
till the end of the winter : the blossoms are 
very delicate, generally produced in fours, 
at the ends of the upper twigs. It may be 
increased slowly by cuttings, and must be 
potted in sandy peat earth, and defended 
from the frost during the winter in an airy 
ouse.
