Short description: Formerly recognized genus of flowering plants
Philippia is a formerly accepted genus of plant in the family Ericaceae, now treated as a synonym of Erica.[1] Its species ranged from southern to tropical Africa, Madagascar , and the Mascarene Islands.[2] Philippia was a characteristic Afromontane genus in southern and eastern Africa, found in montane forests and shrublands.[3] The genus name Philippia is in honor of Rodolfo Amando (or Rudolph Amandus) Philippi (1808–1904), who was a German–Chilean paleontologist and zoologist.[4]
