The '''Myricaceae''' is a small family of [[dicotyledon]]ous [[shrub]]s and small [[tree]]s in the order [[Fagales]]. There are three genera in the family, though some [[botanist]]s separate many species from ''Myrica'' into a fourth genus ''Morella''. About 35 species are usually accepted in ''[[Myrica]]'', one in ''[[Canacomyrica]]'' and one in ''[[Comptonia]]''.
Well-known members of this family include [[bayberry]] and [[sweetfern]].
