EPACRIS

'''Epacris''' is a genus 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.
Most of the species are small shrubs from 0.2-1.5 m high, though some are taller, with ''E. heteronema'' and ''E. microphylla'' reaching 2.5 m tall. They are found in understoreys and plant communities such as heathland.
''E. impressa'' is the state flower of Victoria.
