The genus Phyllocladtis contains six well-established species. Of these, 

 three (P. glaiicits, P. tnclwmanoides, and P. alpinus) are endemic in New. 

 Zealand; one {P. aspleniifolins) is confined to Tasmania; another (P. hypo- 

 phyllus) is found in Borneo. The sixth {P. protracttis) has the widest distri- 

 bution of any of the species, having been recorded from the Philippine 

 Islands, the Moluccas, and New Guinea. The genus thus ranges from the 

 Philippine Islands to New Zealand, and has a very similar distribution to 

 Dacrijdinm, A gat his, and the greater part of the Podocarpi, with the excep- 

 tion that it has not yet been detected in New Caledonia or elsewhere in 

 Melanesia.
