Erica inaequalis flowering branch

An Erica inaequalis branch tends to be covered in whitish hairs apart from leaves, a flowering one in a profusion of small, pinkish flower clusters as well. The nearly stalkless flowers grow in a whorl or two at side-branchlet tips, mostly aggregated on stems in what appears like racemes. Bloomtime is mostly from spring to summer.

The ellipsoid, papery fruit is indehiscent or partly so, becoming about double the length of the ovary. The fruit is often asymmetrical due to only one fertile ovule developing (Manning and Helme, 2024; Bond and Goldblatt, 1984; iNaturalist; https://www.worldfloraonline.org).
