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 syngenesia:
From the Latin syn = 'together' and genus = 'born'; referring to the way the anthers are fused in the young state, although this is a feature of most other ericas
