Native of the Cape of Good Hope. Flowers from the month of June till September. REFERENCE. 1. The Empalement. 2. The Chives and Pointal, one tip magnified. 3. Seed-bud and Pointal, summit magnified. THIS fine species of Erica is one of the recent novelties raised from Cape seed; and being very distinct from any hitherto delineated, we have named it in honour of Miss Sainsbury, a great admirer of this beautiful tribe of plants. Our figure was drawn at the nursery of Mr. Rollinson of Lower Tooting, in September 1810. [Illustration] ERICA Salisburia. CHARACTER SPECIFICUS.
