The Erica crassifolia is a perfectly new species, raised last summer from Cape seed, at Messrs. Rollinson’s, Lower Tooting. It is a low bushy shrub, possessing a smooth handsome foliage, of a thick and fleshy appearance; by no means common to the genus, and therefore will not be very difficult to distinguish either in, or out of bloom. Flowers during the months of May and June.[Pg 47]
