Erica glandulosa subsp. fourcadei

Erica glandulosa subsp. fourcadei is hairy on all visible parts, except the tubular corollas that are paler at their shortly rounded tip lobes and longitudinally lined with veins across the near-translucence of the tubes. In picture the pedicels have turned a deeper colour than the corollas themselves. The anthers in the corolla mouths aren’t exserted as the conspicuous style tips upon which the stigmas appear insignificant.

The thick, green leaves spread in spaced whorls of four up the stem, covered in sparse white stubble (Manning and Helme, 2024; Vlok and Schutte-Vlok, 2015; Bond and Goldblatt, 1984; Baker and Oliver, 1967; iNaturalist; iSpot; http://pza.sanbi.org).
