Abstract
A taxonomic treatment is presented of the genera Crowa, Eriostemon, and Phebalium (Rutaceae, tribe Boronieae, subtribe Eriostemoninae), which except for one New Zealand species are endemic to Australia. These genera, and several others in the Rutaceae, were included under Eriostemon by F. V. Mueller (1859, etc.) and by some later authors, or under Crowea (Baillon, 1873), they are here kept distinct but with a modified circumscription. One species previously placed in Eriostemon has been shown to be a Pityrodia (Dicrastylidaceae) and another to be a Boronia (Rutaceae). The following five sections are described as new:- Eriostemon sect. Corynonema, Gymnanthos, Nigrostiulae, and Osmanthos; Phebalium sect. Gonioclados. Fourteen new species and sixteen new infraspecific taxa are described, in addition two new specific combinations and seventeen new infraspecific combinations are made.
