This fine new species of Erica was first raised from Cape seed in the nursery of Mr. Lee at Hammersmith, in the summer of 1824, and named in compliment to His Grace the Duke of Bedford. It bears very little if any resemblance to any other species as yet in cultivation with us; it flowers early in summer, and again in autumn.[Pg 215]
