Abstract

As part of a continuing revision of the family Pittosporaceae in Australia, we present here a monograph of the genus Cheiranthera. This treatment recognises 10 species, of which one is reinstated (C. parviflora Benth.), two are raised in rank (C. borealis, C. simplicifolia) and one is described for the first time (C. telfordii).


Acknowledgements

This project was partly funded by a small grant from the Australian Biological Resources Study as part of the revision of the family Pittosporaceae in Australia. We also thank Robin Cayzer and Greg Chandler for their technical, field and often financial assistance, Laurie Adams for his help in sorting out publication dates of documents relating to the type species, and Brigitte Kuchlmayr who arranged the graphics for this and related projects. The Centre for Plant Biodiversity Research (CPBR) and Living Collections Unit at the Australian National Botanic Gardens (ANBG) provided facilities and support in the growing of field collections, most of which are now established at the ANBG for future study.
