This new species of Erica was raised at the Nursery of Mr. Rollinson, in the summer of 1812, from 
seed brought from the Cape of Good Hope by Mr. Niven. Our figure represents the entire (and we 
believe unique) plant of six years growth. It is a handsome little shrub, in its foliage resembling the 
E. ccilycina, but in every other particular very different from any species we are yet acquainted with.
