The '''Styracaceae''' are a small [[family (biology)|family]] of [[flowering plant]]s in the order [[Ericales]], containing 11 genera and about 160 species of [[tree]]s and [[shrub]]s. The family occurs in warm temperate and subtropical regions of the [[Northern Hemisphere]].<ref name=fritsch>Fritsch, P. W., Morton, C. M., Chen, T., & Meldrum, C. (2001). Phylogeny and Biogeography of the Styracaceae. ''Int. J. Plant Sci''. 162 (6 Suppl.): S95–S116.

The family is characterised by spirally arranged simple [[leaf|leaves]] with no [[stipule]]s; symmetrical white [[flower]]s with a corolla of two to five (sometimes seven) fused petals; and the [[fruit]] usually is a dry [[capsule (fruit)|capsule]], sometimes winged, less often a fleshy [[drupe]], with one or two [[seed]]s.

Most are large shrubs to small trees 3–15 m tall, but ''Halesia monticola'' (''H. carolina'' var. ''monticola'') is larger, with trees 39 m tall known in the [[Great Smoky Mountains National Park]] in [[North Carolina]].

Several genera include species popular as [[ornamental tree]]s valued for their decorative white flowers. [[Benzoin resin]], used in [[herbal medicine]] and [[perfume]]s, is extracted from the bark of ''[[Styrax]]'' species. {{clear|left}}
