    Erica bruniades flowers at short-shoot tips nod in trios but also in larger groups. The pedicels and scale-like bracteoles are silky. Blooming is generally a hairy affair in this Erica, apart from the upper petal lobes that may spread or remain erect. The brown-anthered stamens are always conspicuous, more than the longer styles and their pinhead stigmas.

    And so are the pale purple, straight-finger leaves among the flowers in the photo, easily confused with the anthers (Manning and Helme, 2024; Manning, 2007; Baker and Oliver, 1967; iNaturalist).
