Erica oblongiflora, the Agulhas green heath or sticky green heath, is a plant belonging to the genus Erica and is part of the fynbos. [1] The species is endemic to the Western Cape. [2] Here it occurs on the southern part of the Agulhas Plain to Cape Infanta. There are three subpopulations occurring in an area of 479 km². This area has been reduced due to encroachment of plants such as Acacia cyclops and grazing by livestock. The population at Infanta is threatened by coastal development. [3]
