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 woodii:
Named after John Medley Wood (1827-1915) farmer, trader and botanist in Kwa-Zulu Natal, curator of Durban Botanic Garden from 1882 and founder of the Natal Herbarium
