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 strigosa:
From the Latin ‘strigosa’ / ‘strigosus’ meaning 'lean' or lank’, cognate with the English 'streak'. It typically refers to stright bristly hairs.
