    Abstract

    As part of a revision of the family Pittosporaceae in Australia, a cladistic analysis was undertaken to resolve the phylogeny of Rhytidosporum and thereby clarify the taxonomic status of this small genus. Rhytidosporum is confirmed as a separate genus, and five species are now recognised: R. alpinum, R. diosmoides, R. inconspicuum, R. procumbens and R. prostratum. Rhytidosporum inconspicuum, found in subalpine areas mainly in Victoria and Tasmania, is described for the first time. Rhytidosporum diosmoides, which ranges from central New South Wales to southern Queensland, is reinstated at species level.
