Erica pilulifera
Erica pilulifera is a plant belonging to the genus Erica and is part of the fynbos. The species is endemic to the Western Cape and occurs on Table Mountain. The plant has a range of less than 4 km2 and there are five subpopulations. Parts of the habitat are used by hikers and one subpopulation has been virtually wiped out. This remains the plant's greatest threat.
