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 bicolor:
From the Latin bi meaning ‘two’; and the Latin color meaning ‘colour’. This typically refers to the flower having two colours
