Garnieria is a monotypic plant genus in the family Proteaceae. Molecular hylogenetic studies indicate that it is nested in the larger Australian genus Persoonia where it may be included.[1] It is endemic to New Caledonia where the type specimen was collected at Prony Bay in 1868–1870 by Benjamin Balansa. The only species is Garnieria spathulifolia.[2]
Description
The plant grows as a shrub up to 2 m in height, sometimes a small tree up to 4 m. Its shiny leaves are dark green above, paler below. The fruits are green at first, becoming dark crimson to brown. The flowers are white and scented.[3][4][5]
