No, 868. 
EPACRIS ROSEA. 
Class, Order. 
PENTANDRIA MONOGYNIA. 
Native of New Holland. We raised 
this beautiful plant, with several other 
species, in 1804, from seeds which were 
presented to us by our very worthy friend 
Dr. Sims 
It produces its elegant flowers in the 
winter and spring, continuing long in per- 
fection. It is a great ornament to the 
greenhouse, in which it is necessary to 
preserve it. 
It may be increased without much 
difficulty by devi and should be po 
in sandy peat.
