Erica umbellata is a species of plant in the heather family (Ericaceae) native to the western Iberian Peninsula and northwestern Maghreb. It is a 10 to 50 cm (3.9 to 19.7 in) bush with young stems with barely marked ribs and reddish-brown bark. It has terminal inflorescences, umbelliform, with 3-6 flowers, without involvement of basal bracteoles. The corolla is 3.5–5.5 mm (0.14–0.22 in) intensely pink or purple, occasionally albino. It inhabits bare terrain, dwarf or cleared heaths, scrublands, cleared forests, pine forests and subcoastal sand, always on siliceous soils, from sea-level to 1,500 m (4,900 ft) altitude. There are three varieties: var. major, var. filiformis, and var. Anandra.
