Abstract

The Griseliniaceae is a monophyletic group of dioecious, evergreen trees, shrubs, or trailing habits that currently comprises one genus, Griselinia, and seven species. It exhibits a trans-Pacific disjunct distribution between New Zealand (2 spp.) and Chile, (5 spp.); one species in Argentina; and, one variety of a Chilean species disjunct to south-eastern Brazil. Species occupy a variety of habitats from littoral sites to montane rainforests environments, and within desert habitats (lomas) to Araucaria forests (sea-level to 3200 m). All members of the family are woody, from small trees or large shrubs reaching a height of 20 m. The recognition of the family has been supported by molecular data and its removal from the Cornaceae where it had traditional been placed; relationships within the Apiales have been confirmed. The New Zealand species, Griselinia littoralis and G. lucida, have been introduced into the horticultural trade.
