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 hexandra:
From the Greek ‘hex’ / ‘hex’ meaning ‘six’; and the Greek ‘andra’ / ‘andros’ meaning ‘anther’.
