I have found this Erica occasionally at Injasuthi, usually on the south side of a river bank (here the Injasuti River.) I hope I have got the name right. Some of E. Oatesii have a red flower.
Hilliard and Burtt posit that the Drakensberg is really an outrider of the previously more extensive Fynbos of the Cape because the two share a significant number of genera.
Incidentally they quote 672 spp. in the Cape, and 26 in the 'Berg, so taxonomy is not easy.
