Abstract

The genus Duboisia (family Solanaceae), containing only three species, is native to Australia. Each species is located in a distinct area: Duboisia hopwoodii F. Muell. in arid Central and Western Australia, D. leichhardtii F. Muell. in a very restricted area of southeast Queensland in semi-evergreen vine thickets (dry vine forests), and D. myoporoides R.Br. along the eastern coast from the south of Sydney to beyond Cairns in North Queensland is found in notophyll vine forests (Barnard 1952; Webb 1959; Griffin 1985; Pole 1993).
