ERICA OBTUSA, 
Class, Order. 
OCTANDRIA MONOGYNIA. 
We raised this in the year 1820, from 
Cape seeds : a plant of it which we had sent 
tothe Duke of Bedford, flowered for the 
first time last spring, at Woburn. His 
' Grace kindly communicated the specimen | 
to us, and soon after some of our plants also 
produced flowers. 
It is a neat small species, seemingly of 
hardy constitution and low bushy growth : 
it requires the usual greenhouse protection, 
and may be increased by cuttings: the soil 
must be sandy peat.
