Erica, Linn. The Erica of Pliny, which is derived 
from erico or ereico, to break ; some of the species 
are supposed to have the quality of breaking stone 
in the bladder. Linn. 8, Or. 1, Nat. Or. Ericaceae. 
This is a genus comprising a great number of very 
beautiful and interesting plants, but not so much 
cultivated as they ought to be, on account of the 
supposed difficulty in managing and propagating 
them; but the greatest difficulty lies in getting 
proper soil for them, without which they will not 
thrive. Sweet say's, the free-growing kinds thrive 
best in good black peat, and like largjsh pots to 
grow in. The dwarf and hard-wooded kinds must 
have a very sandy peat, and smaller pots, well 
drained with potsherds, over which a few bits of 
rough turfy peat should be placed ; they also require 
less water than the free-growing kinds, as they 
grow chiefly at the Cape on the tops and sides of 
mountains, and in the crevices of rocks, and such 
like situations, chiefly in very sandy soii, and but 
little of it ; they all require a good deal of air, and 
must not be crowded too thick together. Too much 
fire heat in winter will hurt them as much as any- 
thing, as they only require to be kept from frost ; 
most of the kinds might be preserved through the 
winter in frames : the only difficulty is to keep the 
damp from them. Cuttings of most species strike 
readily, by taking off the very tender tops of the 
shoots, and planting them in sand, under glasses. 
The strong growing kinds require the cuttings to 
be rather larger than the others, and some of the 
stunted growing kinds should be kept in the stove 
a little whUe when they begin to grow, to draw 
them to a sufficient length of young wood, or cut- 
tings cannot be procured; as soon as rooted, they 
should be potted off singly into small pots, and 
placed in a close frame, and hardened by degrees. 
The hardy sorts require to be grown in the same 
kind of sou ; cuttings planted in sand, under a glass, 
will root freely: they may also be increased by 
layers. Synonymes: 1. Erica cylindrica. 2. E.
