Description
The Berberidopsis beckleri belongs to one of the three species of the family Berberidopsidaceae. The family Berberidopsidaceae belongs with the monotypic Aextoxicaceae to the order Berberidopsidales. This plant, is unusual for the core eudicots because they have been placed in the same order to the divergence of Asterids, Caryophyllales, and Santalales. Was originally described as Streptothamnus beckleri by Von Mueller, in 1862. However, in 1984, Veldkamp moved the species to Berberidopsis on the basis of strong similarities in seed anatomy, pollen and wood, which are clearly different in Streptothamnus moorei.
Range & habitat
Berberidopsis beckleri is found in cooler rainforest in Australia, north from the Barrington Tops area in New South Wales to the Queensland border area. With the Australian monotypic genus Streptothamnus, Berberidopsis makes up the family Berberidopsidaceae.
