abstract = {The Ericaceae, Epacridaceae, and Empetraceae are usually recognized as closely related families of woody plants that share a preference for acidic soils, anthers that invert in development, and the presence of endosperm haustoria, among other characteristics. The Empetraceae are recognized as distinctive because of their often unisexual and wind-pollinated flowers. Epacridaceae are distinguished from Ericaceae by anthers that open by slits rather than pores and a primarily Australian distribution. Phylogenetic relationships of these related families are investigated using nucleotide sequences of the plastid gene rbcL. Parsimony analyses indicate a monophyletic, broadly defined Ericaceae that includes Empetraceae and Epacridaceae.}
