A small egg-shaped flower with a constricted opening at its tip. The receptacle is green and hairy.
From below, the four red petal tips can easily be seen, roughly forming a square with a hole in its center at the flower’s opening. Inside, yellow anthers crowd around a central pistil.
I don’t often notice these flowers before they wither and give rise to pale blueish berries. The blooms are numerous, but exceptionally tiny. The fruits are sparsely hairy and quite edible.

Leucopogon obovatus
Like many of the Beard-Heaths, this species of Leucopogon has delightfully fluffy flowers!
This particular species is endemic to coastal areas in southern parts of Western Australia.

The very rare South African orchid Disa elegans fl owers only after fi re and is pollinated by large chafer beetles that feed on dilute nectar secreted on the surface of the purple tips of the lip and the lateral petals. Image credit: Steven Johnson.

Azalée De la chatte
Une azalée est un arbuste à fleurs appartenant à la famille des Ericaceae, souvent cultivé pour sa floraison spectaculaire au printemps. #Fleur #Arbuste #Floraison #Jardin #Ericaceae
The ever so eye catching #Andersonia lehmanniana! I believe this is the autonym subsp. lehmanniana. Based on it being more erect, flowers on the end of branches and distribution! One of my fav genera (I have to many) of #Ericaceae!
Arbousier, en juillet donc fruits encore verts
L' #arbousier
Extrêmement résistant à la sécheresse, se comporte avec le gros gel comme pour un incendie: repart de la souche.
Fleurit en automne/hiver, donc très intéressant.
Persistant, peut devenir assez haut, 7-8m
Fruits meilleurs cuits que crus. Avec […]

Ornithostaphylos oppositifolia is a monotypic genus from the chaparral of San Diego Co. and adjacent Mexico. As the epithet says, it has opposite leaves, and the fruits are dryish drupes. What a beauty! 😍 📷: John Rusk CCBY2 #Ericaceae #Botany 🌾🧪🌱

Zenobia pulverulenta is the only species in the genus and is endemic to the Southeast USA. It has broadly bell-shaped flowers and capsular fruits. I’ve seen this one only in cultivation, never in the wild. #Ericaceae #Botany 🌾🧪🌱
Close-up photo of a small, white plant emerging above the leaf litter. It has a dense cluster of white flowers.
Pleuricospora fimbriolata is another mycoheterotroph (gets carbs by tapping into the mutualism between trees & mycorrhizae). This is one of the 11 genera & only 13 spp in the Monotropoideae. Most genera are monotypic, as is Pleuricospera. 📷: Bryce Strobel CCBY4 #Ericaceae #Botany 🌾🧪🌱
Close-up photo of a group of non-green plants emerging above the leaf litter. The upright flowers are pink.
Hemitomes congestum of the Pacific Northwest is similar in morphology to Monotropsis of Eastern N. America, but I don’t think I’d ever mistake them in the field. I’ve never seen this one in the wild. This fabulous photo is by Alan Rockefeller CCBY4. ❤️❤️❤️ #Ericaceae #Botany 🌾🧪🌱
Close-up photo of a group of non-green plants emerging above the leaf litter. The nodding inflorescences have pinkish flowers that open toward the ground.
Monotropsis odorata is another mycoheterotroph. No chlorophyll needed. Most of the chloroplast genome is missing. This is one of two species: this one is from the SE USA, the other is endemic to FL.

Here’s a stand-out species from western N Amer: Sarcodes sanguinea, a mycoheterotroph. It has no chlorophyll & gets its carbs from mycorrhizae, which get their carbs from trees & shrubs. The name for this species translates to “flesh-like & bloody”! How gothic. #Ericaceae #Botany 🌾🧪🌱
Photo of the inflorescence bearing clusters of pendulous, white and pink, urn-shaped flowers.
I love the manzanitas (Arctostaphylos spp), but this one is Xylococcus bicolor, endemic to the CA Floristic Province & the only sp in the genus. The genus name (“woody berry”) highlights the distinctively hard, dry fruits. Shrubs resprout after fire. 📷: John Rusk CCBY2 #Ericaceae #Botany 🌾🧪🌱

Now that I live in NC, I have fallen in love with Oxydendrum arboreum. It is a small tree with delicate, little, urn-shaped flowers and fiery fall foliage. 📷: Wendy Cutler CCBY4. #Ericaceae #Botany 🌾🧪🌱
