E r ì g a , Linn. The Erica of Pliny, which is derived
from erico or ereico, to break ; because some
of the species are supposed to have the quality
of breaking stone in the bladder. Linn. 8,
Or. 1, Nat. Or. Ericaceae. This is a genus
comprising a great number of very beautiful
and interesting plants, but not so much cultivated
as they ought to be, on account of the
supposed difficulty in managing and propagating
them ; but the greatest difliculty lies in
getting proper soil for them, without which
they will not thrive. The free-growing kinds
thrive best in good black peat, and like largish
pots to grow in. The dwarf and hard-wooded
kinds must have a very sandy peat, and
smaller pots, well drained with potsherds,
over which a few bits of rough turfy peat
should be placed ; they also rcquire less water
than the free-growing kimls, as they grow
chiefly at the Cape on the tops and sides of
mountains, and in the crevices of rocks, and
such like situations, chiefly in very sandy soil,
and but little of it ; they all require a good
deal of air, and must not be crowded too thick
together. Too much Are heat in winter will
hurt them as much as anything, as they only
require to bo kept from frost ; most of the
kinds might be preserved through the winter
in frames : the only difliculty is to keep the
damp from them. Cuttings of most species
strike readily, by taking off the very tender
tops of the shoots, and planting them in sand,
under glasses. The strong growing kinds
require the cuttings to be rather larger than
the others, and some of the stunted growing
kinds should be kept in the stove a little
while when they begin to grow, to draw them
to a sufficient length of young wood, or cuttings
cannot be procured ; as soon as rooted
they should be potted oif singly into small
pots, and placed in a close frame, and hardened
by degrees. The hardy sorts require to
be grown in the same kind of soil ; cuttings
planted in sand, under a glass, will root freely :
they may also be increased by layers. Synonymes:
