In the cool glasshouse at Cambridge Botanic Garden the Erica canaliculata (channelled heath, hairy grey heather) was covered in flowers. This species is native to the East and West Capes of South Africa and naturalised in South Australia.

Looking like a cloud tethered to the floor of the Temperate House, Royal Botanic Garden Kew, London, was Erica canaliculata (channelled heath, hairy grey heather). This South African evergreen shrub grows at forest margins or in the thick fynbos-filled valleys of the southern Western and Eastern Cape. It grows in poor, well drained, acidic soils derived from weathered quartzite.
