Epacris
[from the Greek: epi (upon)
and akris (summit)] There are many species of epacris in
the greater Blue Mountains area, ranging from the common E. pulchella
to the endangered E. hamiltonii. Epacris pulchella,
the species shown in our logo, literally translates from the Latin
and Greek as 'the beautiful one upon the summit'.
