Notes

[edit]

Cafferty & Nelson (in Taxon 54: 206. 2005) proposed the rejection of the name Erica viridipurpurea L. as the only available type element is identifiable as E. erigena. E. erigena is a name in widespread current use. This proposal was recommended by the Committee for Vascular Plants (in Taxon 56: 591. 2007).
