''Daboecia'' ,〔''Sunset Western Garden Book,'' 1995:606–607〕 St. Dabeoc's heath, is a small genus of flowering plants in the family Ericaceae, containing two evergreen shrubs, closely related to the genus ''Erica''. They are native to cliffs and heathland in western Ireland, western France, northwestern Spain, Portugal and the Azores. They produce urn-shaped flowers in shades of white, pink and red. ''Daboecia'' differ from European ''Erica'' species in having a substantially larger corolla. The leaves are always alternate in ''Daboecia'', never whorled. The generic name comes from the Irish Saint Dabheog. Like ''Erica'', ''Daboecia'' are calcifuges (ericaceous), but will tolerate neutral soils. ==Species== * ''Daboecia azorica''.Tutin & E. F. Warb. * ''Daboecia cantabrica''.(Huds.) K. Koch Some botanists regard ''D. azorica'' as a subspecies of ''D. cantabrica'', thus making the genus monospecific. The two species have been extensively cultivated and hybridised to produce a number of popular garden plants. Cultivars include selections from the hybrid between the two species, which is named ''Daboecia'' × ''scotica''. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Daboecia」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
