Erica bauera, the Albertinia white heath or bridal heath, is a plant that belongs to the genus Erica and forms part of the fynbos.[1] The species is endemic to the Western Cape and occurs from Riversdale to Albertinia.[2]

The flat is popular as a garden plant and is rare in its natural habitat.[3] Its habitat has become drastically smaller, 90%, since 2012 due to invasive plants, overgrazing, agricultural activities and a lack of management of the field.[4][5]
