Re: Eucryphia (correction)

Gai's post led me to check up, which I should have done before I 
posted in the first place . . .

Gai is right, of course; the Tasmanian leatherwood is E lucida, not 
what I said.  Also, as she says, there is another Tassie species, 
E milliganii, similar but with smaller leaves and flowers.

Thus there are three Australian species, not two like I said, the 
mainland species I mentioned being E moorei, the plumwood, which I've
never seen that I know of, though it's supposed to grow here in the 
Illawarra in a few places along the crest of the escarpment (its 
northern limit).

There are about six S American species.
