Abstract

This comprehensive treatment of the flowering plant family Pittosporaceae (9 genera, ca. 250 spp.) provides relevant information on its morphology, anatomy, phytochemistry, ecology, biogeography and phylogeny. It also provides an identification key to and concise descriptions of the accepted genera. Important synonyms are listed and references to revisions and to the literature on the family are provided.
