The autumn heather (lat. Erica manipuliflora) is an evergreen perennial shrub, that is native to the Eastern Mediterranean, i.e., in Albania, Greece, Italy, Cyprus, and Turkey. In Greece, it occurs in dry, sandy, rocky, and semi-mountainous areas, in sparse forests.

It blooms from August to November attracting bees. The honey produced stands out for its taste, and aroma, and has beneficial properties for the body.
