Erica omninoglabra H.A.Baker

A slender, flexuous, straggling plant forming dense clumps when not exposed amongst rocks, completely glabrous. Branches very slender and intermixed. Leaves 3-nate, about 6 mm long, spreading and not imbricate, recurved, linear-acute, round-backed, variously sulcate, from faintly to deeply, tipped with a long arista. Flowers mostly terminal and umbellate, the umbels containing up to about 12 flowers and tightly packed, but sometimes sub-axillary on the same plant and then solitary in the leaf axils, corolline; peduncles 3.5 mm long; bracts median, 1 mm long, leaf-like but white. Sepals about 1.5 mm long, broad-ovate with a long, acuminate keel-tip or arista as have the leaves, thin in texture, scarious, concave, clasping the corolla. Corolla 3.25 mm long, urceolate, thin in texture, somewhat narrowed at the throat, white, tinged pink, becoming brown after maturity; lobes erect, somewhat crenate towards the apex, subobtuse. Filaments broad-ligulate, pinkish at the apex; anthers included, oblong, obtuse below, dorsically basifixed, muticous, about 0.5 mm long; pore about half the length of the cell; ovary turbinate, sessile; style long exerted; stigma simple.
