,,dissertation continued4 ,the unabating ardour that still prevails in the science of botany1 and rather increases than diminishes1 renders it almost impossible 7from the extreme minuti annexed to this elegant tribe7 for the pencil of the artist to keep pace with the numerous importations from the ,cape 7at present the sole emporium of the genus ,erica72 the limits of the genus it is impossible at present to prescribe1 but by the termination of the next volume we have no doubt of being able to ascertain1 in some measure1 its extent4 ,the author's intention is therefore to figure 7first7 all the most elegant and desirable of the genus1 including many very beautiful varieties1 of recent introduction1 that far surpass those from which they derive their name2 reserving1 as a dernier ressort1 the most uninteresting and least attractive1 to subjoin at the termination of the genus1 as necessary links in the chain of this extensive family4 ,the great difficulty attending the cultivation of many of the species1 so generally complained of1 can only be surmounted by great care and attention to keep them from the partial damps and fogs so prevalent in this island4 ,among the most tender and difficult to preserve1 and which require the most care1 are the ,e4 obbata1 ,e4 retorta1 ,e4 ampullacea1 ,e4 ,aitonia1 ,e4 ,jasminiflora1 ,e4 vestita alba1 and ,e4 ,massonia2 the last of which is perhaps the most tender1 owing most likely to the closeness of the leaves1 joined with the soft hairs that surround them1 which is a great encourager of secreted damps3 this1 assisted by the great succulence that pervades the upper part of the plant1 and its rather abrupt commencement from the wood1 renders it so difficult to be preserved4 ,they should by no means be intermixed with other plants1 but kept in a house entirely appropriated to them1 and so arranged that the air may have as free an egress and regress as possible to them all2 as undoubtedly the mixing of them with plants whose foliage is so much larger1 although it may produce a pleasing contrast1 must exclude the free approach of the atmosphere1 to which they are so much exposed in their native clime1 and to which the nearest approximation must certainly be most congenial4 ,,erica acuta4 ,,character ,,specificus4 ,,erica antheris cristatis1 inclusis2 floribus ternis2 foliolis calycis ciliatis1 apicibus
