Erica - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Erica is a genus of over 700 species of flowering plants in the family Ericaceae; the English names, both shared with some other closely related plants, are heath or heather. |
 | | The closely related genus Calluna is sometimes confused with the true Erica species; it differs in even smaller scale leaves less than 2-3 mm long, and the flower corolla being more divided into separate petals. |
 | | Plants of this genus are eaten by the larvae of some Lepidoptera species including Emperor Moth, True Lover's Knot, Wormwood Pug and the Coleophora case-bearers C. |
