Which genus has more species, Astilbe or Pittosporum ?
Pittosporum Pittosporum ( or ) is a genus of about 200 species of flowering plants in the family Pittosporaceae. The genus is probably Gondwanan in origin; its present range extends from Australasia, Oceania, eastern Asia and some parts of Africa. "Citriobatus" is usually included here, but might be a distinct (though closely related) genus. They are commonly known as pittosporums or, more ambiguously, "cheesewoods".
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.
