Diapensiaceae is a small family of flowering plants, which includes 15 species in 6 genera.[2] The genera include Berneuxia Decne. (1 species),[3] Diapensia L. (5 species),[4] Galax Sims (1 species),[3] Pyxidanthera Michx. (2 species),[5] Shortia Torr. & A.Gray (4 species),[6] and Schizocodon Siebold & Zucc. (2 species).[6] Members of this family have little economic importance; however, some members are cultivated by florists.[7]
