Erica discolor flowers

The flowers of Erica discolor have long, somewhat curving and sometimes sticky corolla tubes with pale lobes at the tips that are either whitish or pale yellow. The shallow petal lobes curve outwards, while the flower tube curves down near its mouth. Both style and the eight anthers are exserted from the corolla mouth. The anthers are long-horned at the base.

Flowering happens from midsummer to early autumn, but environmental differences in the varied distribution result in some flowering during all seasons (Manning and Helme, 2024; Euston-Brown and Kruger, 2023; Manning, 2007; iSpot; Baker and Oliver, 1967; Bond and Goldblatt, 1984; iNaturalist).
