The Royal Botanic Garden Edinburgh (RBGE) holds major collections of plants from the family Ericaceae. One of the smaller genera within the collections in the glasshouses at Edinburgh is Dimorphanthera (F.Muell. ex Drude) F.Muell. A brief introduction and history is given for the genus Dimorphanthera along with an outline of the literature, a summary of its distribution, an overview and history of the collections at RBGE and cultivation notes.
