Taxonomy and naming

The genus ''Epacris'' was first formally described in 1797 by

Antonio José Cavanilles Antonio José Cavanilles (16 January 1745 – 5 May 1804) was a leading Spanish taxonomic botanist of the 18th century. He named many plants, particularly from Oceania. He named at least 100 genera, about 54 of which were still used in 2004 ...

, who published the description in ''Icones et Descriptiones Plantarum''. Cavanilles did not specify a
