abstract = {Worldwide, many tens of thousands of plant species are threatened with extinction in
the wild. Those that are naturally rare or have narrow distributions are particularly vulnerable. The flowering plant genus Erica is a prime example, its numerous species presenting additional challenges associated with conserving large, complex, plant groups.
This topical collection of papers represents a substantial body of research on inter-dependent themes in nomenclature, taxonomy, phylogeny, ecology, and conservation of
Erica species. It will serve as a lasting resource and reference, helping us to better understand, describe, and name species diversity and improving our knowledge of the
complexity of ecological interactions in the wild. These advances will aid and champion
conservation of natural habitats and support targeted efforts to secure the most critically endangered species in seed banks and botanic gardens.},
