Abstract
Alkane distribution pattern was determined in the epicuticular wax of leaves of 39 species and in the flower wax of three species of Epacridaceae. Uniform patterns were observed within some genera ( Monotoca, Styphelia) whereas in others no common pattern was apparent. There was no difference between the alkane patterns of the two subfamilies Epacrideae and Styphelieae. The pattern was not affected by the presence of new growth, and there was no correlation with the season, habitat, climate, nature of soil, or the presence or absence of flowers.
