Which genus was described first, Ixiolirion or Allosyncarpia?
Allosyncarpia Allosyncarpia ternata, commonly known as "An-binik", is a species of rainforest trees constituting part of the botanical family Myrtaceae and included in the Eucalypts group. It is the only species described in its genus Allosyncarpia, in 1981 by Stanley Blake of the Queensland Herbarium. They grow naturally into large, spreading, shady trees, found only (endemic) in the Northern Territory of Australia. They grow in sandstone gorges along creeks emerging from the Arnhem Land plateau.
Eidothea zoexylocarya Eidothea zoexylocarya is a species of tall rainforest trees endemic to north-eastern Queensland, Australia and constituting part of the plant family Proteaceae. In European–Australian science, these trees were only recognised in recent decades, first from the slopes of Mount Bartle Frere, the Queensland mountain which reaches the highest altitude. In 1995, scientific descriptions of the trees, as this genus and type species, were published for the first time by Andrew W. Douglas and Bernie Hyland. The species name refers to the almost identical fossil fruit "Xylocaryon lockii" (picture below), from Ballarat, southern Australia, still extant ("zoe" means life) in this north-eastern Australian species.
