The Styracaceae are a small family of flowering plants in the order Ericales, containing 11 genera and about 160 species of trees and shrubs. The family occurs in warm temperate and subtropical regions of the Northern Hemisphere.〔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. Available (online (pdf file) )〕〔L. Watson and M.J. Dallwitz (1992 onwards). ''The families of flowering plants''. (Styracaceae )〕 The family is characterised by spirally arranged simple leaves with no stipules; symmetrical white flowers with a corolla of two to five (sometimes seven) fused petals; and the fruit usually is a dry capsule, sometimes winged, less often a fleshy drupe, with one or two seeds. 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 trees valued for their decorative white flowers. Benzoin resin, used in herbal medicine and perfumes, is extracted from the bark of ''Styrax'' species. ;Genera *''Alniphyllum'' Matsum. (three species) *''Bruinsmia'' Boer. & Koord.
