Communicated by Mr. M'Nab. The use of this list is, to give an idea of what height the species will attain, if planted against a conservative wall. In all probability, they would attain double the height, planted in the ground, and trained to a wall, of what they do as standards in pots or tubs in a glazed house. The wall ought to have an eastern or western aspect; in order to moderate the temperature of the hotter summer months, and to avoid the direct influence of the sun in spring and autumn, when the plants are covered with hoar-frost. The plants in the Edinburgh Botanic Garden are all known as Erica, though we have given them Mr. Don's new names; but those who do not approve of these ap pellations, have only to substitute the word Erica for the new generic name, the specific names generally not having been changed; where both names have been changed, we have given the old ones in parentheses. |
