ERICA LACTTFLORA. 



A native of the Cape, whence it was in- 

 troduced a few years since : it is a dwarf 

 species, with small slender leaves, and very 

 delicate milk white flowers, which are pro- 

 duced in March and April. 



It requires the protection of a well-aired 

 greenhouse, and may be increased by cut- 

 tings, which strike root without much 

 difficulty. The soil should be sandy peat.
