Erica granulatifolia H.A.Baker

Erect robust shrublet to 30 cm or so. Branches tomentose with hairs of varying length. Leaves 3-nate, about 4 mm long, lanceolate to ovate, narrowly to widely open-backed, spreading to squarrose, the under surface granulate, the margins scabrid-setose, the setae caducous. Flowers terminal on very short branchlets, solitary or binate but umbellate at the branch ends with many flowers, some apparently axillary, corolline; peduncles 2.5 mm long, tomentose as branches; bracts remote about 1 mm long, linear-lanceolate, ciliate. Sepals 1-1.5 mm long, ovate, broadly nerved and with scarious margins, sulcate-keel-tipped, concave, glabrous, setose-ciliate, the setae caducous, white except for the discoloured nerves. Corolla 2.5-3 mm long, obconical, dry, glabrous, pale rose; lobes continuous, 1.5 mm long, subacute. Filaments linear, broadish below, tapering upwards; anthers manifest, about 1 mm long, oblong, obtuse below but narrowed at the apex into a rough scabrid point produced above the cells in varying degrees and often those of the two cells diverging, muticous; pore half as long as the cell. Ovary globose, villous on the apex; style exserted, often curved; stigma cyathiform.
