Etymology of Erica:
Gk. ereike = to break. The name used for a heath by Theophrastus (372–287 BCE) and Pliny the Elder. The stems are brittle and break easily (Lindsay); or possibly but less likely because of the ability of the plant to break up bladder stones (Paxton’s Botanical Dictionary).
Etymology of vespertina:
From the Latin Latin vesper = 'evening'; relates to the evening including bats; -inus designates 'resembling'; referring to the similarity to the north American genus Vesper in the carrot family.
