Genera
Acrotriche
Acrotriche is a genus of flowering plants in the family Ericaceae. Species occur in all states of Australia. They include: [more]
Andersonia
Andersonia may refer to: [more]
Astroloma
Astroloma is an endemic Australian genus of around 20 species of flowering plants in the family Ericaceae. [more]
Brachyloma
Coleanthera
Cosmelia
Cyathodes
Dracophyllum
Dracophyllum is a genus of plants belonging to the family Ericaceae, formerly Epacridaceae. There are some one hundred or so species in the genus, mostly shrubs but also cushion plants and trees, found in New Zealand, Australia and New Caledonia. The name, Dracophyllum or Dragon-leaf refers to their strange, almost prehistoric appearance. Although dicotyledonous they resemble primitive monocots with their slender leaves concentrated in clumps at the ends of the branches; they are sometimes called Grass-trees. [more]
Epacris
Epacris is a of about 35-40 species of flowering plants in the family Ericaceae, though formerly often treated in a separate family Epacridaceae. The genus is native to eastern and southeastern Australia (southeast Queensland south to Tasmania and west to southeast South Australia), New Caledonia and New Zealand. The species are known as heaths or Australian heaths. [more]
Lebetanthus
Leptecophylla
Leucopogon
Leucopogon is a genus of about 150-160 species of flowering plants belonging to the family Ericaceae, in the section of that family formerly treated as the separate family Epacridaceae. They are native to Australia, New Zealand, New Caledonia, the western Pacific Islands and Malaysia, with the greatest species diversity in southeastern Australia. The common name is beard-heath or beard heath. [more]
