Growth—

This species is very rare in gardens, a form of Erica vagans often being made to do duty for it. These two species have been much confused by botanists, but Erica multiflora is easily distinguished by the anthers being only slightly notched at the top, whereas in Erica vagans the anther-cells are free from one another right to the base; the sepals also are longer and narrower than in Erica vagans[1].
