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 scytophylla:
From the Greek skytos = 'skin' or 'leather', and phyllon = 'leaf'; alluding to the texture of the leaves.
