Epacris Study Group - Australian Native Plants Society (Australia)

Epacris Study Group

CLOSED

This Group was formed with the aim of studying the cultivation and propagation of the genus Epacris, a member of the large heath Family of plants (the Ericaceae), so that more species could be seen in gardens. The Group commenced in 1992 and closed in 2015.

Although this Study Group is now closed, during its period of operation the Group produced a series of highly detailed newsletters documenting reports from members into cultivation issues, propagation methods, natural occurrences of different species and taxonomy.

Epacris Booklet

In 1977 Alice Talbot and the Australian Plant Study Group (comprising members of the Maroondah Group of the Society) published a 30 page booklet Epacris, which described all of the then known species of Epacris. The booklet was distributed to Epacris Study Group members with Newsletter No 24. We are grateful to have received permission to make the booklet generally available.
