ERICA RESINOSA. 
Class. Order. 
OCTANDRIA MONOGYNIA. 
This very handsome species is a native of 
the Cape of Good Hope: it was introduced 
is about the year 1800, and is a moderate 
sized piant, usually flowering in the sum- 
mer or autumn: the blossoms are covered 
with a kind of gum or varnish, which ren- 
ders them quite clammy, but gives a fine 
gloss to their surface. 
| It requires the usual protection and treat- 
ment, and may be increased sparingly by 
cuttings, as we have not known it to perfect 
its seeds in this country.
