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 pauciovulata:
From the Latin paucus = 'few' and ovulatus = 'ovuled'; referring to the peculiar feature of the plant having very few ovules to each ovary
