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 mundii:
Johannes Ludwig Leopold Mund (1791-1831), pharmacist, botanical collector and later land surveyor. He was sent to the Cape as an official plant collector by the Prussian government. He visited Knysna and Plettenburg Bay east as far as Uitenhage.
