Abstract

Following the revision of the family Pittosporaceae in Australia, a new genus, Auranticarpa, is described and monographed here to accommodate a monophyletic group excluded from Pittosporum in cladistic analyses. Auranticarpa occurs mostly in monsoonal northern Australia, and has six species. New combinations are provided for three taxa previously placed in Pittosporum: A. melanosperma, A. resinosa (reinstated this analysis) and A. rhombifolia; and three are described for the first time: A. edentata, A. ilicifolia and A. papyracea.
