Epacridaceae (from the genus Epacris, derived from the Greek meaning on the top; many species growing on hilltops). Epacris Family. Shrubs or small trees: leaves alternate, usually stiff, small, and heath-like: flowers bisexual, regular, hypogynous; disk present; calyx of 4-5 sepals, bracted at the base; corolla gamopetalous, 4-5-lobed; stamens 4—5, hypogynous or epipetalous; anthers opening by longitudinal slits; carpels 4-5; ovary superior, 1-10-celled; ovules solitary or many; style and stigma 1: fruit a drupe or capsule.
The 21 genera and about 300 species are almost exclusively confined to Australia and New Zealand. One species is found in South America. The family is closely related to the Ericaceae, but has one whorl of stamens. The genus Styphelia contains 172 species. S. sapida furnishes edible berries.
A few species of Epacris are grown as ornamental plants in the greenhouses of North America.
