pyrolaceae
Pyrolaceae is a family of flowering plants, which are mostly perennial herbs that grow in temperate regions. This family includes approximately 45 species categorized under 6 different genera. The plants in this family are usually small and have evergreen leaves. Most of them are mycoheterotrophic, meaning they form a symbiotic relationship with fungi, and produce simple or complex inflorescences. They are best recognized for their white or pink flowers that form in bell or pitcher shapes. An example of a plant in this family is the Wintergreen (genus Pyrola). The family Pyrolaceae is also recognized by the name Ericaceae by some taxonomists.

Pyrolaceae
Pyrolaceae was a small family of flowering plants under the old Cronquist system of plant classification. It included the four genera Chimaphila, Moneses, Orthilia, and Pyrola, and sometimes also the eight genera formerly usually placed in the family Monotropaceae. Recent genetic research by the Angiosperm Phylogeny Group has however demonstrated that these genera are all better placed in the family Ericaceae. The family was distinguished mainly by its herbaceous growth form, not being woody plants like the rest of the Ericaceae. The genera are native to cool temperate and arctic regions of the Northern Hemisphere. The common name wintergreen derives from their evergreen leaves. The leaves are typically alternate or basal, and are always evergreen. The flowers are regular, most often with five sepals, five petals, and 10 anthers. The fruit are dry dehiscent capsules.
