Erica quadrangularis inspired flowering

Erica quadrangularis is a notably floriferous species, producing many small, white or pink flowers from winter to early summer. Flowers grow in clusters of up to four at the tips of small side-branches. The small calyces reach less than halfway up the corollas. The sepals are coloured nearly the same as the petals, hairy or not and lance-shaped with acutely pointed tips.

The hairless corollas are broadly bell-shaped to four-angled at the mouth. The specific name, quadrangularis, means four-angled, referring to this corolla-shape. The corolla lobes are variously shaped. The anthers and styles are included in the corolla cups. There are pale, curved protrusions like awns or tails on the outsides of the dark anthers (Manning and Helme, 2024; Vlok and Schutte-Vlok, 2015; Baker and Oliver, 1967; iNaturalist; iSpot).
