| Summary |
"Coloured Engravings of Heaths; Vol. 3" by Henry Cranke Andrews is a scientific publication written in the early 19th century. It serves as an extensive catalogue of heaths, featuring detailed illustrations and descriptions of various species, native to regions such as the Cape of Good Hope. The text provides comprehensive botanical information, including specifics about their flowering periods and habitats. The opening portion of the work introduces the scope of the monograph, outlining the author's aim to document the extensive genus of heaths, which had expanded significantly since his initial volume. Andrews notes the gradual naturalization and successful seed production of many species in cultivation, a change from the earlier belief that these plants would not thrive outside their native regions. He also hints at plans for a fourth volume that would encompass all species currently available, including visual representations of seeds to enhance the work's completeness. The systematic arrangement of various Erica species begins immediately after, showcasing the author's meticulous classification within the Linnæan system.
