ERICA GELIDA. 
Classe Order. 
OCTANDRIA MONOGYNIA. 
A native of the Cape of Good Hope, in- 
troduced in 1790. It flowers in the spring, 
and is much inclined to perfect its seeds in 
this country, which is a property the more 
valuable, on account of the great difficulty 
of striking cuttings of it. 
It is a large growing sort, sometimes ac- 
quiring the height of three or four feet. It 
must be potted in sandy peat soil, and pre- 
served during the winter in an airy green- 
house.
