Pyrola
''Pyrola'' is a genus of evergreen herbaceous plants in the family Ericaceae. Under the old Cronquist system it was placed in its own family Pyrolaceae, but genetic research showed it belonged in the family Ericaceae. The species are commonly known as wintergreen, a name shared with several other related and unrelated plants (see wintergreen for details). They are native to northern temperate and Arctic regions. They are rather small plants with a rosette of simple orbicular or ovate leaves, with a flower stem bearing generally rather lax racemes of simple white, cream or pink flowers. The immediate distinguishing feature of ''Pyrola'' species is the flower style which is often curved, sticks out beyond the petals and is expanded below the stigma which itself is branched into several lobes. To the casual observer the flower appears to have a small bell-clapper sticking out. Distribution They are distributed across northern temperate and arctic Europe, Asia and North Am ...

Pyrolaceae
Pyroloideae is a subfamily of plants in the family Ericaceae. It was formerly treated as a separate family, Pyrolaceae.Stevens, P.F. (2001 onwards).Ericaceae ''Angiosperm Phylogeny Website''. Retrieved 2014-12-29. It has also been treated as the tribe Pyroleae within the subfamily Monotropoideae. It consists of four genera: ''Chimaphila'' containing 5 species, ''Pyrola'' containing 30 species and ''Moneses'' and '' Orthilia'' which are monotypic. They are mixotrophic, gaining nutrition from photosynthesis Photosynthesis is a process used by plants and other organisms to convert light energy into chemical energy that, through cellular respiration, can later be released to fuel the organism's activities. Some of this chemical energy is stored in ..., but also from mycorrhizal fungi. Genera list References Asterid subfamilies {{Ericaceae-stub ...

Pyrola Crypta
''Pyrola crypta'', commonly known as cryptic wintergreen, is a perennial herb in the heath family. Description ''Pyrola crypta'' resembles other members of the genus ''Pyrola'', particularly '' Pyrola picta''. It can be distinguished from the later by its relatively long sepals (>), longer floral bracts (>), and longer leaf petioles (, vs. in ''P. picta''). Range ''Pyrola crypta'' is endemic to western North America. It is found in Washington, Oregon, and northern California, in the Olympic Peninsula, the Cascade Range, the Klamath region, and the northern coast of California. Habitat ''Pyrola crypta'' grows between and in elevation, in coniferous forests composed of Pinus, Picea, Abies, Tsuga, or Thuja. Ecology Like other members of ''Pyrola'', ''P. crypta'' has flowers adapted to buzz pollination, and there is some indication that ''P. crypta'' reaches anthesis later in the season than other ''Pyrola'' species from the same area.

Pyrola Grandiflora
''Pyrola grandiflora'' (, commonly known as Arctic wintergreen or largeflowered wintergreen, is a hardy perennial evergreen subshrub in the family Ericaceae. It is widely distributed in the Northern Hemisphere from temperate to tundra-like climates. Taxonomy According to A. E. Porsild in 1939, there are three recognized varieties of ''Pyrola grandiflora'' that includes var. ''canadensis'', var. ''gormanii'', and var. ''grandiflora'' which slightly differ in terms of leaf and floral morphology, fragrance, and habitat. For example, P. canadensis Andres are found in the southern lowlands and are taller and often have smaller flowers than normal. Distribution ''Pyrola grandiflora'' is found throughout the Northern Hemisphere and is circumpolar including places: Greenland, Canada, United States, Alaska, Yukon, Northwest Territories Islands, Continental Northwest Territories, Nunavut Islands, Continental Nunavut, Northern Quebec, Eurasia, and the Arctic.
