No. 627. 
ERICA GRANDINOSA. 
Class. Order. 
OCTANDRIA MONOG ¥NI4. 
The very pretty species of heath now be- 
fore us was introduced from the Cape of 
Good Hope, about the year 1810. It flowers 
abundantly during the spring; the blossoms 
coming two or three together at the ends of 
its numerous twigs. The plants being very 
short, at a little distance they look like 
ground covered with small hail stones. 
It requires much the same kind of treat- 
ment as the other Ericas, loving a free 
supply of air at all seasons. It may be pro- 
pagated by cuttings, and the soil should be 
sandy peat.
