According to previous studies, the northern species, present in Europe and the Mediterranean, form a paraphyletic, basal clade, and the southern species, present in South Africa, form a robust monophyletic group. In this work a molecular phylogenetic analysis from European and from Central and South African Erica species was performed using the chloroplast regions: trnL-trnL-trnF and 5´trnK-matK , as well as the nuclear DNA marker ITS, in order i) to state the monophyly of the northern and southern species, ii) to determine the phylogenetic relationships between the species and contrasting them with previous systematic research studies and iii) to compare the results provided from nuclear data and explore possible evolutionary patterns. All species were monophyletic except for the widely spread E. arborea , and E. manipuliflora . The paraphyly of the northern species was also confirmed, but three taxa from Central East Africa were polyphyletic, suggesting different episodes of colonization of this area.

  • Bell Heather Erica Cinerea
    Bell heather Erica cinerea Family Ericaceae (heath) Also known as Heath, Scotch heather Where is it originally from? Western Europe What does it look like? Long-lived, low growing (<30 cm), bushy shrub with small needle-like leaves arranged in groups of three around stems. Bell-shaped, mostly purple (sometimes pink or white) flowers (6 mm long, Dec-Feb) produce large amounts of seed in mature plants. Are there any similar species? Calluna vulgaris Photo: Trevor James Why is it weedy? Forms dense mats, suckers and seeds profusely, and is faster growing than its subalpine competitors. Tolerates cold, high to low rainfall, semi-shade, and poor soils, but is intolerant of heavy shade. How does it spread? Mature plants produce large amounts of seeds that are viable for a long time (30-40 years). Seed spread via gravity, wind, animals, ornamental trade. What damage does it do? Adversely impacts environmental values of rocky outcrops, low stature shrub land and tussock communities in the hill and high country by competing with native species such as flax and snow Photo: Trevor James tussock. Loss of production from pastoral agriculture is also a possibility if left uncontrolled in the hill and high country. Has allelopathic properties, especially affecting grasses, and may cause patches of bare soil as a result that are vulnerable to further weed invasion or erosion. Which habitats is it likely to invade? Grows on hillsides, cliffs, dry slopes, sea cliffs heaths, rocky ground, woods, frequently disturbed sites and tussock grassland. Can tolerate acidic, waterlogged soils, has slight salt tolerance and frost resistant.

  • Heathers and Heaths
    Heathers and Heaths Heathers and heaths are easy care evergreen plants that can give year-round garden color. With careful planning, you can have varieties in bloom every month of the year. Foliage colors include shades of green, gray, gold, and bronze; some varieties change color or have colored tips in the winter or spring. Flower colors are white and shades of pink, red, and purple. Heathers make excellent companions to rhododendrons and azaleas. They are also excellent in rock gardens or on slopes. Bees love traditional heaths and heathers; however, the new bud-bloomer Scotch heathers, whose flowers are long-lasting because they don’t open completely, do not provide good bee forage, nor do the new foliage-only series. Choose other varieties if that is a consideration. Heathers grow best in neutral to slightly acid soil with good drainage. A sandy soil mixed with compost or leaf mold is ideal. Heathers bloom best in full or partial sun. Plants will grow in a shady location but will not bloom as well and tend to get leggy. They will not do well in areas of hot reflected sunlight. To plant heather, work compost into the planting area, then dig a hole at least twice the width of the rootball. Partially fill with your amended soil and place the plant at the same level it grew in the container. Excess soil over the rootball will kill the plant. For the same reason, do not mulch too deeply or allow mulch to touch the trunks. Normally a spacing of 12-30” apart is good, depending on the variety.

  • Dwarf Shrub Heath (Uk Bap Broad Habitat)
    DWARF SHRUB HEATH (UK BAP BROAD HABITAT) This broad habitat comprises vegetation in which dwarf shrubs are abundant or dominant. The dwarf shrubs here are most commonly ling Calluna vulgaris, bell heather Erica cinerea, cross-leaved heath E. tetralix, blaeberry Vaccinium myrtillus, cowberry V. vitis-idaea and crowberry Empetrum nigrum, but less commonly include bog bilberry V. uliginosum, bearberry Arctostaphylos uva-ursi, alpine bearberry A. alpinus, dwarf juniper Juniperus communis ssp. nana and western gorse Ulex gallii. The main division among these heaths in Scotland is between wet heaths and dry heaths. Wet heaths contain at least one of deergrass Scirpus cespitosus, purple moor-grass Molinia caerulea, Erica tetralix and bog myrtle Myrica gale in good quantity, or smaller quantities of these individual species attaining high cover collectively. Wet heath vegetation can resemble that of the Bog broad habitat, but differs in having little or no hare’s-tail cottongrass Eriophorum vaginatum, and the bog mosses Sphagnum papillosum and S. magellanicum. Wet heath vegetation on peat >50 cm deep is classed as bog. Dry heaths have little or no Scirpus, Molinia, Myrica or E. tetralix and are mostly dominated by Calluna or Vaccinium myrtillus. This broad habitat is widespread and common in Scotland, especially in the uplands where it dominates very large areas. Wet heath is most common in the western Highlands and Hebrides: in these areas it is the most extensive type of semi-natural vegetation. Further east dry heaths predominate. Dwarf shrub heaths can be of high conservation interest, especially for birds, mammals, insects, bryophytes and lichens. Many west Highland and Hebridean heaths are of international importance for their oceanic liverwort floras.

  • Site Synopsis
    SITE SYNOPSIS Site Name: Killarney National Park, Macgillycuddy's Reeks and Caragh River Catchment SAC Site Code: 000365 This very large site encompasses the mountains, rivers and lakes of the Iveragh Peninsula, and the Paps Mountains which stretch eastward from Killarney towards Millstreet. The majority of the site is in Co. Kerry, with a small portion in Co. Cork. This is the most mountainous region in Ireland and includes Carrauntoohil, the highest peak in the country at 1,039 m. The underlying geology is almost entirely Old Red Sandstone, although Carboniferous limestone occurs on the eastern shores of Lough Leane, and rhyolitic lavas occur above Lough Guitane. The dramatic sandstone ridges and valleys have been shaped by glacial processes and many of the lakes are impounded by glacial moraines. Located close to the Atlantic in the south- west of Ireland, the site is subject to strong oceanic influences. Generally, Lusitanian flora and fauna is well-represented, while the high peaks and cliffs support arctic- alpine relicts. The site is a Special Area of Conservation (SAC) selected for the following habitats and/or species listed on Annex I / II of the E.U. Habitats Directive (* = priority; numbers in brackets are Natura 2000 codes): [3110] Oligotrophic Waters containing very few minerals [3130] Oligotrophic to Mesotrophic Standing Waters [3260] Floating River Vegetation [4010] Wet Heath [4030] Dry Heath [4060] Alpine and Subalpine Heaths [5130] Juniper Scrub [6130] Calaminarian Grassland [6410] Molinia Meadows [7130] Blanket Bogs
