This very small-flowered Erica was first raised at the Hammersmith Nursery, from Cape seed, in the summer of 1822, and was then called atro or viridi purpurea, neither of which are characteristic of the plant, which furnishes when in bloom a very minute but good specific character; and although not specious, it may be regarded as a curious and interesting species.[Pg 119]
