Erica vestita branches

The erect, wand-like Erica vestita branches in picture almost all end in clusters of flower tubes facing up. The flowers have short pedicels. The perianth bases are paler than their upper parts, the tubes slightly curved and the flower mouths widening.

The long, thin leaves are soft and brush-like. The specific name, vestita, is derived from the Latin word, vestitus, meaning clothes or dress, referring to the leaf cover on the upper stem parts. Lower stems are bare, grey and woody, clearly by now undressed. 

The environment is rocky (Manning and Helme, 2024; iNaturalist; JSTOR).
