The '''Ericales''' are a large and diverse order of [[dicotyledon]]s, including, for example, [[camelia sinensis|tea]], [[persimmon]], [[blueberry]], [[Brazil nut]], and [[azalea]]. The order includes [[tree]]s, [[shrub|bush]]es, [[liana]]s, and [[herbaceous]] plants. Together with ordinary [[Photosynthesis|autophytic]] plants, the Ericales include [[chlorophyll]]-deficient [[mycoheterotrophic]] plants (e.g., ''[[Sarcodes sanguinea]]'') and [[carnivorous plant]]s (e.g., genus ''[[Sarracenia]]'').
 
 
 
Many species have five petals, often grown together. Fusion of the petals as a trait was traditionally used to place the order in the subclass [[Sympetalae]].<ref>{{cite journal|last=Robyns|first=W.|title=Outline of a New System of Orders and Families of Sympetalae|journal=Bulletin du Jardin Botanique National Belgique|date=31 December 1972|volume=42|pages=363–372|jstor=3667661|doi=10.2307/3667661}}<!--|accessdate=23 October 2011--></ref>
 
 
 
[[Mycorrhiza]] is an interesting property, frequently associated with the Ericales. Indeed, symbiosis with root fungi is quite common among the order representatives, and three kinds of it can be found exclusively among Ericales (namely, ericoid, arbutoid and monotropoid mycorrhiza). In addition, some families among the order are notable for their exceptional ability to accumulate [[aluminum]].<ref>(Jansen et al., 2004).</ref>
 
 
 
Ericales are a cosmopolitan order. Areas of distribution of families vary largely - while some are restricted to tropics, others exist mainly in Arctic or temperate regions. The entire order contains over 8,000 species, of which the Ericaceae account for 2,000-4,000 species (by various estimates).
 
 
 
== Economic importance ==
 
The most commercially used plant in the order is [[tea]] (''Camellia sinensis'') from the [[Theaceae]] family. The order also includes some edible fruits, including [[kiwifruit]] (''Actinidia deliciosa''), [[persimmon]] (genus ''Diospyros''), [[blueberry]], [[huckleberry]], [[cranberry]], [[Brazil nut]], and [[Mamey sapote]]. The order also includes [[Vitellaria|shea]] (''Vitellaria paradoxa''), which is the major dietary lipid source for millions of sub-Saharan Africans.  Many Ericales species are cultivated for their showy flowers: well-known examples are [[azalea]], [[rhododendron]], [[camellia]], [[Calluna|heather]], [[Primula|polyanthus]], [[cyclamen]], [[phlox]], and [[busy Lizzie]].
 
 
 
== Classification ==
 
These families are typical of newer classifications. Those marked with an asterisk are recognized in the [[APG III system]].<ref name=APGIII2009/>
