No. 842. 
ERICA BOWIEANA. 
Classe Order. 
OCTANDRIA MONOGYNIA. 
This delicate and beautiful species, has 
been lately sent to this country, and we un- 
derstand has been named after a Mr. Bowie, 
who returned not long since from the Cape, 
where he had been several years, making 
collections for the Kew garden. In its 
flowers it bears much resemblance to the 
the autumnal months. It may be increased 
by cuttings, and should be potted in sandy 
peat, and preserved in an airy part of the 
greenhouse.
