IRISH HEATH Erica erigena (Height to 2m) is hairless shrub with leaves arranged in 4s. The flowers are pink, 5-7mm long, and similar to those of Cornish Heath; they are borne in long spikes in spring (Mar-May), not late summer. The plant is very locally common in the W, growing on the drier margins of bogs. It grows nowhere else in our region.
