A taxonomic revision of Pseudoweinmannia Engl. (Cunoniaceae: Geissoieae)

The vegetative and reproductive morphology of Pseudoweinmannia is described and illustrated. The genus is endemic to eastern Australia with two species, Pseudoweinmannia apetala (F.M. Bailey) Engl. and P. lachnocarpa (F.Muell.) Engl., that can be differentiated by their leaf serration, stipule morph...

Description
Summary:The vegetative and reproductive morphology of Pseudoweinmannia is described and illustrated. The genus is endemic to eastern Australia with two species, Pseudoweinmannia apetala (F.M. Bailey) Engl. and P. lachnocarpa (F.Muell.) Engl., that can be differentiated by their leaf serration, stipule morphology and flower and fruit characters. New interpretations of floral and fruit morphology in Pseudoweinmania are discussed, and their significance in better understanding the phylogenetic relationships within the tribe Geissoieae are examined.
