Diapensiaceae (from the genus Diapensia, the derivation of which is obscure). Diapensia Family. Fig. 47. Low shrubs: leaves alternate, evergreen, reniform or imbricated or moss-like: flowers bisexual, regular, hypogynous; disk absent; calyx of 3-5 sepals; corolla with 5 separate petals, or gamopetalous; lobes imbricated; stamens 5, epipetalous or hypogynous, alternating with the corolla lobes, often also alternating with 5 staminodia; anthers opening by a longitudinal slit; ovary superior, 3-celled; ovules very numerous; style 1; stigmas 1-3: fruit a capsule.
Diapensiaceae has 6 genera and about 10 species of circumpolar distribution, extending southward to Carolina and the Himalayas. The family is related to the Ericaceae, and to the Epacridaceae. The 3 carpels and 5 stamens are important distinguishing characteristics. Four or more genera are in cultivation in America; of these, Galax aphylla (Galax) of North Carolina has reniform leaves; Pyxidanthera barbulata (Pyxie, Flowering Moss, or Pine-barren Beauty) of southern New Jersey has subulate leaves; Shortia, of North Carolina and Japan, and Schizocodon soldanelloides (Fringed Galax) of Japan both have orbicular leaves.
