Eremosyne pectinata | |
Historically it was placed in the Saxifragaceae family. It was placed in its own family, Eremosynaceae, under the Cronquist system; later merged into Escalloniaceae; before being restored to Eremosynaceae in the APG II system.[1] Recent studies have confirmed its affinity with Escalloniaceae, and the Angiosperm Phylogeny Website now includes it in that family.[2]
Eremosyne pectinata is largely confined to the Warren region of the Southwest Botanic Province of Western Australia.[3]
