This beautiful plant has lately been in- 
troduced, and is named after the Duke of 
Bedford, whose collection of this charming 
genus, at Woburn, is undoubtedly the 
finest in the world. We have before had 
occasion to advert to it, and have lately 
been honoured by His Grace with a copy 
of the elegant Hortus Ericeus Wobur- 
niensis, a work which displays refined taste, 
and shews how much may be accomplished 
in a short time by liberality and skill. 
Our present plant is of somewhat delicate 
habit; its branches are slender, and its 
flowers are produced in May and June. It 
requires the airy greenhouse, and should be 
potted in sandy peat, and propagated by 
cuttings.
