ORDER XVI.— PITTOSPORACEtE, Lindl. Nat, Syst. p. 31. 



Trees or shrubs, simple or twining, of 6 genera, and about 35 species: viz., 

 1 5 from New Holland ; 2 from Van Diemen's Land ; 2 from Australasia ; 2 

 from Mauritius ; I from Japan and China ; 1 from the Moluccas ; 1 from 

 S. Africa ; 2 from the Canaries ; 1 from Madeira ; 1 from Guinea ; and 5 

 from India. The latter (species of Pittosporum) have been found in Ceylon, 

 on the Neelgherries, at Mussooree, and in the Kheree Pass. 



" The wood of Senacia undulata. Lam. is handsomely veined. The 

 berries of Billardiera are eatable, but they have a resinous odour, and a 

 bitter sub-acrid taste. The bark of Pittosporum Tobira, Ait. has a resinous 

 smell." {Lindl.) " The seeds of the Indian species are covered with a 

 fragrant resinous fluid, which, however, soon dries on exposure to the air, 

 and loses its smell." {Wight.)
