Philippia is a genus of plant in family Ericaceae. Its species range from southern to tropical Africa, Madagascar, and the Mascarene Islands.[1] Philippia is a characteristic Afromontane genus in southern and eastern Africa, found in montane forests and shrublands.[2] The former genus name of Philippia was in honour of Rodolfo Amando (or Rudolph Amandus) Philippi (1808–1904), who was a German–Chilean paleontologist and zoologist.[3]
This is now listed as a synonym of Erica.[4]
