Clethraceae (from the genus Clethra, the ancient Greek name of Alder). Pepperbush, or White Alder Family. Fig. 46. Tall shrubs or low trees: leaves alternate: flowers bisexual, regular, hypogynous; disk absent; calyx 5-parted, persistent; corolla saucer-shaped, of 5 separate petals; stamens 10, hypogynous; anthers opening by terminal pores, at first inverted, later erect; ovary superior, 3-celled; style 1; stigmas 3; ovules numerous: fruit a capsule.
A single genus and about 30 species are distributed in the tropical and subtropical regions of both hemispheres; mostly American. Two species reach the eastern United States. The family is closely related to the Pyrolaceae and Ericaceae. The polypetalous corolla, temporarily inverted anthers and the 3-celled ovary are important characteristics. There is one fossil species known.
A few species of Clethra are grown in North America for ornamental purposes. C. alnifolia is the native white alder or sweet pepperbush.
