The Erica mirabilis may be considered as an intermediate species between the Ericas Walkeria and Hyacinthoides, removed from each and yet allied to both. When in perfection, the inner segments of the blossoms are of a pure white, but on going off may justly be said to blush themselves out of bloom. Our figure was made from the nursery of Messrs. Rollinsons at Lower Tooting, in the summer of 1824.[Pg 123]
