Erica Erica is a genus of roughly 860 species of flowering plants in the family Ericaceae. The English common names "heath" and "heather" are shared by some closely related genera of similar appearance. The genus "Calluna" was formerly included in "Erica" – it differs in having even smaller scale-leaves (less than 2–3 mm long), and the flower corolla consisting of separate petals. "Erica" is sometimes referred to as "winter (or spring) heather" to distinguish it from "Calluna" "summer (or autumn) heather".

Dracophyllum Dracophyllum is a genus of plants belonging to the family Ericaceae, formerly Epacridaceae. There are some one hundred or so species in the genus, mostly shrubs but also cushion plants and trees, found in New Zealand, Australia and New Caledonia. The name, "Dracophyllum" or dragon-leaf refers to their strong similarity to the unrelated "Dracaena", sometimes known as dragon tree. Although dicotyledonous, they resemble primitive monocots with their slender leaves concentrated in clumps at the ends of the branches; they are sometimes called grass-trees.

Drosera aliciae Drosera aliciae, the Alice sundew, is a carnivorous plant in the family Droseraceae. It is native to the Cape Provinces of South Africa, like "Drosera capensis", the cape sundew, and is one of the most common sundews in cultivation. The plant forms small, tight rosettes of wedge-shaped leaves, up to 5 cm in diameter. Under conditions of good lighting, the insect-snagging tentacles will become deeply coloured with anthocyanin pigments, which probably aid in its attraction of insect prey. The plant is relatively easy to grow, and produces attractive scapes of pink flowers, which are held about 30 cm away from the carnivorous leaves, so as to prevent pollinators from becoming ensnared. "D. aliciae" is very similar in form to a number of other closely related species such as "D. slackii", and "D. dielsiana": the former is rather larger (8 cm diameter); the latter rather smaller (3 cm diameter).
