The Cape of Good Hope has been, and -still continues to be, the emporium for this unrivalled tribe of plants; -and unless some new source should be found to extend this already -numerous Genus, by the discovery of some unexpected mine of novelty; we -otherwise have little doubt but the termination of the Sixth Volume will -be found to contain all the species and distinct varieties. The -difficulty of preserving many of this fine tribe is still a subject of -general complaint, and by no means easy to be remedied where the -situation is low, as the great enemies of the Ericas are the fogs, which -invariably gravitate towards the marshes and low grounds; but where -the situation is elevated and open, the preservation of the major part -of them is by no means so difficult. Greater care is requisite in the -watering of them than is generally imagined, as too much renders them -weak, and subjects them to damp off; whilst, on the contrary, too little -is frequently fatal; for, if they once droop their heads for want of -water, they very rarely survive the neglect. - - - - -ERICA acuminata. - - -DESCRIPTIO. - -Antheræ muticæ, inclusæ.
