Erica mammosa (the nine-pin heath) is a species of erica that was naturally restricted to the south-western corner of the Western Cape, South Africa.
It produces masses of flowers in a range of colours from light-pink to orange to bright red. The species name "mammosa" means "with breasts" and refers to the udder-like shape of the flowers.
This plant is increasingly popular as an ornamental garden subject. [1]
