Conservation: IUCN – Lower Risk (lc).
Discussion: Gureev (1979) listed beirae and deserti as distinct species; the latter may well be separable. C. bloyeti, formerly listed as a species, is included here because it was based on a juvenile hirta. The Angolan erica may also belong here. The karyotype of hirta (2n = 50, FN = 66) is shared by olivieri, viaria, greenwoodi, and attila (Schlitter et al., 1999). For synonyms see Heim de Balsac and Meester (1977).
