Abstract
Summary: New chromosome counts based on collections of Winteraceae have strengthened the conclusion, suggested by morphological and anatomical study, that the two Sections (Tasmannia and Drimys) traditionally treated in the genus Drimys J. R. & G. Forst. are very distinct and merit full generic status. Consequently Tasmannia R. Br. ex DC. is herewith reinstated and a number of required new combinations are proposed.This publication has 6 references indexed in Scilit:
