whence it was introduced about the year 
1805. Tt is a moderate sized upright 
plant, the b hes of which are well clothed 
with rather long and slender leaves. The 
flowers come out near the tops; the season 
for them is June and July. ^ 
It may be inereased slowly by cuttings, 
and should be potted in sandy peat earth, . 
needing, like the other Cape Heaths, to be 
protected from frosts in an airy green- 
house.
