Erica setociliata H.A.Baker

Straggling, more or less diffuse shrublet. Branches willowy, pubescent, glabrescent and starred with the persistent leaf cushions. Leaves 4-nate, 2-2 1/2 mm long, spreading, recurved, imbricate, linear, acute, sulcate, more or less pubescent and ciliate with short hairs but always beset with a few long, setose, glandular hairs, mostly on the margins. Flowers terminal, clustered 3-8 in tight heads on short branchlets, subcalycine; peduncles pubescent, 1.5 mm long; bracts approximate, foliaceous and sepal-like, adpressed, one sometimes sub-approximate. Sepals foliaceous but with many more of the gland-tipped ciliations, reaching to the top of the corolla-tube or more; the corolla thus being largely concealed and made viscid by them. Corolla 2 mm long, cyathiform, glabrous, white or pink; lobes continuous, rounded, about 1 mm long. Filaments slender, linear: anthers included, 1 mm long, lateral, oblong, aristate; pore about half the length of the cell: awns slightly spreading, 0.3 mm long. Ovary turbinate, pubescent mainly on top; style just manifest; stigma cyathiform, large.
