No. 1060. 
ERICA OPPOSITIFOLIA rubra. 
Class, Order. 
OCTANDRIA  MONOGYNIA. 
This is a native of the Cape of Good 
Hope: it was introduced about the year 
1810, and flowers in the latter part of the. 
summer. Itis a low growing sort, with 
many twisted slender branches. The treat- 
ment required by it is similar to that re- 
commended for the other kinds. It may be 
propagated by cuttings, and should be 
potted in sandy peat soil, and preserved in 
a light airy greenhouse.
