Which genus has more species, Astilbe or Pittosporum ?
Astilbe Astilbe is a genus of 18 species of rhizomatous flowering plants within the family Saxifragaceae, native to mountain ravines and woodlands in Asia and North America. Some species are known by the common names false goat's beard and false spirea.
Myrsine Myrsine is a genus of flowering plants in the family Primulaceae. It was formerly placed in the family Myrsinaceae before this was merged into the Primulaceae. It is found nearly worldwide, primarily in tropical and subtropical areas. It contains about 200 species, including several notable radiations, such as the matipo of New Zealand and the kōlea of Hawaiʻ i (the New Zealand "black matipo", "Pittosporum tenuifolium", is not related to "Myrsine"). In the United States, members of this genus are known as colicwood. Some species, especially "M. africana", are grown as ornamental shrubs.
