This Erica was first raised in the summer of 1823, and flowered in the spring of 1824, at Messrs. Rollinson’s nursery: it also bloomed again in the autumn of the same year, and is therefore doubly valuable. It is at present a scarce plant; and, although only a variation between E. vernex and E. ardens, is superior to either of them in beauty, and will, no doubt, be considered as one of the finest of the Ericæ family.[Pg 283]
