Geissois racemosa wood - MHNT
Geissois is a genus of about 19–21 species of trees and shrubs, constituting part of the plant family Cunoniaceae.[1][2][3][4][5][6][7]
They grow naturally in New Caledonia, Fiji, Vanuatu, Solomon Islands, perhaps New Guinea and in Australia formerly two species, now recognised as a different genus.[1][3][4][7]
In Oct 2013, a study was published of the molecular phylogenetics and morphologies of the members of the tribe Geissoieae, including a synopsis of its genera. The two Australian species were recognised as a separate genus Karrabina.[2]
