The '''Myricaceae''' are a small family of [[dicotyledon]]ous [[shrub]]s and small [[tree]]s in the order [[Fagales]]. There are three genera in the family, although some [[botanist]]s separate many species from ''Myrica'' into a fourth genus ''Morella''. About 55 species are usually accepted in ''[[Myrica]]'', one in ''[[Canacomyrica]]'', and one in ''[[Comptonia (plant)|Comptonia]]''.<ref name="Christenhusz-Byng2016">{{cite journal |author1=Christenhusz, M.
