 Australian Heath Family - Background
The Ericaceae is poorly developed in Australia and the Epacridaceae tends to occupy the ecological niche that the Ericaceae occupies in other parts of the world.
Because of the small leaves in many species of the Epacridaceae, the veins often appear to be parallel.
Recent research suggests that the Epacridaceae may be more closely related to the Ericaceae than previously thought and may be relegated to sub-family status within the Ericaceae in the future.

 Mycorrhiza Literature Exchange
The presence of ericoid endophytes was confirmed in hair roots of 14 species of Epacridaceae native to the mediterranean south-west of Western Australia.
The phenology of infection was followed in 2-yr-old seedlings of Astroloma xerophyllum D.C. (Send.) and showed increasing infection up to a peak (40% of hair roots infected) in late winter and a decline to zero infection during summer (December-February).
Over 400 isolates of root-inhabiting fungi of 14 species from seven genera of native Epacridaceae were obtained.

 Mycorrhiza Literature Exchange
The first axenic synthesis of morphologically typical ericoid mycorrhizas of the Epacridaceae has been achieved in micropropagated Epacris impressa Labill.
Mycorrhizal synthesis has also been achieved between E. impressa and both Hymenoscyphus ericae (Read) Korf and Kernan and Oidiodendron griseum Robak, recognized endophytes of Ericaceae, suggesting that the endophytes of the Epacridaceae and Ericaceae are capable of cross-infection.
This synthesis makes possible studies of the roles of these endophytes in the Epacridaceae and comparison with their roles in the Ericaceae.

Takhtajan (1997) retains Epacridaceae and Empetraceae, and in addition to these, Cronquist (1988) accepts Monotropaceae and Pyrolaceae.
The family Epacridaceae may be readily recognized as those ericoid taxa with longitudinally dehiscent anthers that lack appendages.
A minor nomenclatural note: When the Epacridaceae are placed in the Ericaceae, the correct, collective name for the subfamily is Styphelioideae Sweet (Fl.

 What are ericoid mycorrhizas?   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
Ericoid mycorrhizas are formed between ascomycetous, and more rarely hyphomycetous fungi, and species of the Ericaceae and Epacridaceae.
The ericoid type is the most important and is found in such genera as Calluna, Erica, Rhododendron and Vaccinium.
In Australia, where the Ericaceae are replaced by the Epacridaceae, 39 species within the sub-family Styphelieae and 21 within the Epacrideae have been foud to form ericoid mycorrhizas.

 ericoid
The order Ericales is a worldwide group of closely related families, perhaps best known in the UK by the Ericaceae family - heathland plants such as Calluna (heather), Vaccinium and Erica.
In the northern hemisphere, large areas of land can be dominated by the Ericaceae, whereas in the southern hemisphere, the Epacridaceae are most important.
The association is geologically fairly recent, with fossil records of Ericaceae known from the early Tertiary (around 55 mya), and Epacridaceae from the Cretaceous (Lewis, 1987).

 Key to Tasmanian Dicots
The Ericaceae (including the now-defunct Epacridaceae) are important in Tasmania, with about 95 native species, 62% of which are endemic.
They are prominent in most vegetation, and range from prostrate alpine shrubs to wet forest trees.
In Richea, Dracophyllum and Sprengelia the leaf bases sheathe the stems.

While the composition of heathlands does vary, the families that are found in heathland are generally the same.
These are Myrtaceae, Proteaceae, Liliaceae, Orchidaceae, Epacridaceae, Fabaceae, Mimosaceae, Casurinaceae, and Restionaceae.
Descriptions of these families and examples of plants found in The Grange are found later in this section.
