Abstract
Oxydendrum is a member of the family Ericaceae (heaths). The heath family is well known for its fruiting members, the blueberries, cranberries, and huckleberries, as well as for the highly desirable ornamental azaleas, rhododendrons, and mountain laurel. The sourwood genus has only one member, Oxydendrum arboreum (L.) DC, which is native to the southeastern and central United States.
