Vaccinieae
Vaccinieae is a tribe of over 1000 species in the plant family Ericaceae. The tribe consists of morphologically diverse woody plants. Species within Vaccinieae can be found on all continents except Australia and Antarctica. Genetic analysis indicates that Vaccinieae is a monophyletic group.

Ericaceae
The Ericaceae are a family of flowering plants, commonly known as the heath or heather family, found most commonly in acidic and infertile growing conditions. The family is large, with c.4250 known species spread across 124 genera, making it the 14th most species-rich family of flowering plants. The many well known and economically important members of the Ericaceae include the cranberry, blueberry, huckleberry, rhododendron (including azaleas), and various common heaths and heathers ('' Erica'', '' Cassiope'', '' Daboecia'', and ''Calluna'' for example). Description The Ericaceae contain a morphologically diverse range of taxa, including herbs, dwarf shrubs, shrubs, and trees. Their leaves are usually evergreen, alternate or whorled, simple and without stipules. Their flowers are hermaphrodite and show considerable variability. The petals are often fused ( sympetalous) with shapes ranging from narrowly tubular to funnelform or widely urn-shaped. The corollas are usually rad ...

Periclesia
''Periclesia'' is a monotypic genus of flowering plants belonging to the family Ericaceae. It only contains one known species, Periclesia flexuosa A.C.Sm. It is also with the Vaccinioideae subfamily and the Vaccinieae tribe. It is native to Ecuador. The genus name of ''Periclesia'' is in honour of Pericles (c. 490 BC – 429 BC), a Greek statesman and general during the Golden Age of Athens. The Latin specific epithet of ''flexuosa'' refers to ''flexuosus'' meaning twisted. Both the genus and the species were first described and published in Contr. U.S. Natl. Herb. Vol.28 on page 357 in 1932. The genus is not recognised by United States Department of Agriculture and the Agricultural Research Service, they list it as a synonym of ''Ceratostema ''Ceratostema'' is a genus Genus ( plural genera ) is a taxonomic rank used in the biological classification of living and fossil organisms as well as viruses.

They are deciduous or evergreen shrubs growing to a height of . Ecology ''Gaylussacia'' species are used as food plants by the larvae of some Lepidoptera (butterflies and moths) species including '' Coleophora gaylussaciella'' (which feeds exclusively on ''Gaylussacia'') and '' Coleophora multicristatella''.
