Editorial Note
The systematics of the former family Epacridaceae (now sunk into Ericaceae) have been significantly reordered on the basis of molecular and other phylogenetic evidence. As a consequence, all the species treated by Bean under the genus Cyathodes (like those in Leucopogon, its traditional associate) have been referred to other genera, in this case Leptecophylla and Androstoma.
Cyathodes as now circumscribed is confined to Tasmania, and contains only three species, none of which is in cultivation in our area.
