OCTANDRIA | MONOGYNIA. 
This elegant plant was first introduced 
from the Cape of Good Hope, about the 
year 1793. It is upright and branching, 
with downy leaves, and produces its 
beautiful flowers in the beginning of spring. 
In its growth it is more robust than many 
‘of the kinds of heaths, and requires the 
protection of a very airy greenhouse. It 
will admit of propagation by cuttings, and, 
like most of the others, should be potted in 
sandy peat.
