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 bakeri:
Named in honour of Colonel H. A. Baker; or the botanist John Gilbert Baker born on January 13, 1834, in Guisborough, England, the son of John and Mary (nêe Gilbert) Baker. Baker’s parents moved from Guisborough to Thirsk, Yorkshire, in 1834.
