The '''Eriocaulaceae''' are a [[family (biology)|family]] of [[monocotyledon]]ous [[flowering plant]]s in the order [[Poales]], commonly known as the '''pipewort family'''. The family is large, with about 1207 known species described in seven genera.<ref name="Christenhusz-Byng2016">{{cite journal |author1=Christenhusz, M. J. M. |author2=Byng, J.

Very few species extend to [[temperate]] regions, with only 16 species in the [[United States]], mostly in the southern states from [[California]] to [[Florida]], only two species in [[Canada]], and only one species (''Eriocaulon aquaticum'') in [[Europe]]. They tend to be associated with wet soils, many growing in shallow water. This is also reported from the southern part of India and the regions of Western Ghats hot spots.

The species are mostly [[herbaceous]] [[perennial plant]]s, though some are [[annual plant]]s; they resemble plants in the related families [[Cyperaceae]] (sedges) and [[Juncaceae]] (rushes), and like them, have rather small, wind-pollinated [[flower]]s grouped together in [[Head (botany)|capitulum]]-like [[inflorescence]]s.
