No. 1093. 
ERICA RECURVATA. 
Class. Order, 
OCTANDRIA MONOGYNIA. 
This is a native of the Cape of Good 
Hope: it was introduced about the year 
1810. In form it is rather low and bushy : 
the flowers grow in very close heads; they 
hang downwards, and their very long pro- 
jecting styles give the whole an extraordi- 
nary appearance. The season for blooming 
is the latter part of summer. 
It is necessary to ж! it, like the 
other heaths, in an airy, light greenhouse ; 
it should also be potted in sandy peat earth. 
It is exceedingly difficult to increase by 
cuttings, which occasions it to be scarce.
