SWAP https://www.inaturalist.org/taxa/585236-Erica-tomentosa TO Erica velutina
The following wont yet be on POWO
They will need to be created and the existing name swapped into them. In each case the parent of the swap should be the parent of the new name.
-* Erica adelopetala E.C. Nelson & E.G.H. Oliv. replacing Erica insignis E.G.H. Oliv. !!!
-* Erica bombycina E.C. Nelson & Pirie replacing Erica niveniana E.G.H. Oliv.
-* Erica concordia E.C. Nelson & E.G.H. Oliv. replacing Erica constantia Nois. ex Benth. (https://www.inaturalist.org/taxa/584754-Erica-constantia)
-* Erica didymocarpa E.C. Nelson & E.G.H. Oliv. replacing Erica rugata E.G.H. Oliv.
-* Erica galantha E.C. Nelson & E.G.H. Oliv. replacing Erica perlata Benth.
-* Erica mallotocalyx E.C. Nelson & E.G.H. Oliv. replacing Erica flocciflora Benth.
-* Erica notoporina E.C. Nelson & E.G.H. Oliv. replacing Erica autumnalis L.Bolus;
-* Erica oliveranthus E.C. Nelson & Pirie replacing Erica tenuis Salisb.; !!!
-* Erica oraria E.C. Nelson & E.G.H. Oliv. replacing Erica spectabilis Klotzsch ex Benth. !!!

-* Erica rhodella E.C. Nelson & E.G.H. Oliv. replacing Erica rhodantha Guthrie & Bolus;
-* Erica supranubia E.C. Nelson & Pirie replacing Erica praecox Klotzsch.
-* !!! = changes that some users might notice (> 50 observations).
Hold - Erica aristata Andrews.
Dont change it - although a replacement name is not suggested, so there is nothing to change it to (the earlier name by Salisbury is for a non-flowering specimen, so its true ID is unknown - but clearly not Erica aristata Andrews).
-* Erica lanata Andrews under Erica flaccida Link;
SWAP https://www.inaturalist.org/taxa/566703-Erica-lanata TO https://www.inaturalist.org/taxa/1035335-Erica-flaccida
After much unnecessary discussion (https://www.inaturalist.org/flags/498859), this swap is done (https://www.inaturalist.org/taxon_changes/139441).
Still none of the above are on POWO: still waiting.

Abstract
In support of ongoing taxonomic work on the large and complex flowering plant genus Erica (Ericaceae), we document nineteen pairs of homonyms representing currently used illegitimate names. We provide replacements for thirteen names and new typifications for five. We relegate five names to synonymy: Erica aemula Guthrie & Bolus under Erica distorta Bartl.; Erica armata Klotzsch ex Benth. under Erica umbrosa H. A. Baker; Erica capensis T.M. Salter under Erica turbiniflora Salisb.; Erica lanata Andrews under Erica flaccida Link; and Erica tomentosa Salisb. under Erica velutina Bartl. Finally, we suggest conservation of Erica aristata Andrews. The new names are: Erica adelopetala E.C. Nelson & E.G.H. Oliv. replacing Erica insignis E.G.H. Oliv.; Erica bombycina E.C. Nelson & Pirie replacing Erica niveniana E.G.H. Oliv.; Erica concordia E.C. Nelson & E.G.H. Oliv. replacing Erica constantia Nois. ex Benth.; Erica didymocarpa E.C. Nelson & E.G.H. Oliv. replacing Erica rugata E.G.H. Oliv.; Erica galantha E.C. Nelson & E.G.H. Oliv. replacing Erica perlata Benth.; Erica mallotocalyx E.C. Nelson & E.G.H. Oliv. replacing Erica flocciflora Benth.; Erica notoporina E.C. Nelson & E.G.H. Oliv. replacing E. autumnalis L.Bolus; Erica oliveranthus E.C. Nelson & Pirie replacing Erica tenuis Salisb.; Erica oraria E.C. Nelson & E.G.H. Oliv. replacing Erica spectabilis Klotzsch ex Benth.; Erica oresbia E.C. Nelson & E.G.H. Oliv. replacing Erica demissa Klotzsch ex Benth.; Erica poculiflora E.C. Nelson & E.G.H. Oliv. replacing Erica stenantha Klotzsch ex Benth.; Erica rhodella E.C. Nelson & E.G.H. Oliv. replacing Erica rhodantha Guthrie & Bolus; Erica supranubia E.C. Nelson & Pirie replacing Erica praecox Klotzsch.
