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 ecklonii:
Named after Christian Frederick Ecklon (1795-1868), a Danish apothecary, plant collector and traveller. His plant collecting trips were amongst the most noteworthy of the early plant collectors and many new species were described by him.
