No. 614, 
ERICA MOSCHATA. 
Class. Order. 
OCTANDRIA MONOGYNIA, 
This pleasing species is a native of the 
Cape of Good Hope, and was introduced a 
few years since. It is of low growth, 
flowering plentifully in May and June. The 
blossoms have a very agreeable smell: they 
are not succeeded by seeds in this country, 
which is the less to be regretted, as it may 
be propagated readily by enttings. During 
the winter it must be defended from frost 
in an airy greenhouse, and its soil, as usual 
with this description of plants, should be 
sandy peat.
