摘要
An extensive database of predominantly morphological characters has been assembled for the family Epacridaceae. Problems of homology across the family and its outgroups were encountered for several characters. A phylogenetic analysis, using only those characters for which we were fairly confident of our assessment of homology, was undertaken to establish broad relationships within the family as a basis for a re-assessment of the supra-generic classification. The resultant phylogeny is weakly resolved and lacks robustness in the basal clades. Previous classifications of the family are assessed in the light of this analysis, and an alternative arrangement of four tribes is proposed. (C) 1996 Annals of Botany Company
