Padbruggea Miq., Fl. Nederl. Ind. 1(1): 150 (1855), emend. nov. J.Compton & Schrire
Diagnosis.
Padbruggea
has robust panicles with the peduncle and lateral axes densely brown velutinous (vs. robust panicles with peduncle and lateral axes finely grey-pubescent in
Austrocallerya
).
Padbruggea
has inflated, 4.5-11 cm wide, oblong or obovoid coarsely ridged fruits (vs. inflated, 3-5.2 cm wide, fusiform, finely ridged or striate and torulose pods in
Austrocallerya
).
Austrocallerya
has arching type callosities on the standard petals vs. large papillate callosities in
Padbruggea filipes
or ridge type callosities in
P. dasyphylla
and
P. maingayi
.
Padbruggea
is distributed from southern China, IndoChina, Indonesia, Malaysia, Thailand to Myanmar whereas
Austrocallerya
occurs in Australia, New Guinea, and some of the adjacent Pacific islands as far south as New Caledonia and Norfolk Island.
