A family of flowering plants commonly known as the evening primrose family, including willowherbs and fire weeds.
From Epilobium (the genus name) + '-aceae' (family suffix in botanical Latin), established as a taxonomic family in 19th-century plant classification.
After forest fires, epilobiaceae plants are the pioneers that move in first—some people call them weeds, but ecologists call them heroes because they heal burned landscapes and create new soil!
