Erica urna-viridis (the Sticky Heath or Bottle-green Heath) is a species of erica that was naturally restricted to the city of Cape Town, South Africa, in particular the Peninsula Sandstone Fynbos of Table Mountain.
It bears sticky green flowers - the origin of its common names - and grows to a height of about 1 meter. [1]
