Angophora
''Angophora'' is a genus of flowering plants in the myrtle family, Myrtaceae, described as a genus in 1797.〔Cavanilles, Antonio José. 1797. Icones et Descriptiones Plantarum 4: 21〕〔(Tropicos, ''Angophora'' Cav. )〕 It is endemic to Australia, where species are distributed in Queensland, New South Wales, and Victoria.〔(Kew World Checklist of Selected Plant Families )〕 The centre of diversity is along the northern and central coast of New South Wales.〔(Genus ''Angophora''. ) PlantNET. National Herbarium of New South Wales, Royal Botanic Garden, Sydney.〕
==Taxonomy==
''Angophora'' is closely related to ''Corymbia'' and ''Eucalyptus'', and all three genera are often referred to as "eucalypts". Collectively the eucalypts, or gum trees, dominate many Australian ecosystems.〔(''Eucalyptus'', ''Corymbia'' and ''Angophora''. ) Australian Native Plants Society.〕 ''Angophora'' can be distinguished from other eucalypts by its oppositely arranged leaves and flowers which lack opercula, cap-like structures which fall off as the flowers open.〔(''Eucalyptus'', ''Corymbia'' and ''Angophora'' – Background. ) Australian Native Plants Society.〕 Taxonomists have long recognised the relationships between the eucalypt taxa, but have not agreed upon a classification scheme. Some have proposed merging ''Angophora'' and ''Corymbia'' into genus ''Eucalyptus'' as subgenera,〔Brooker, M. I. H. (2000). (A new classification of the genus ''Eucalyptus'' L'Her.(Myrtaceae). ''Australian Systematic Botany'' 13(1), 79-148. )〕 a plan which was immediately rejected by others.〔Ladiges, P. Y. and F. Udovicic. (2000). (Comment on a new classification of the eucalypts. ) ''Australian Systematic Botany'' 13(1), 149-52.〕 Some authors maintain ''Angophora'' as a genus,〔Steane, D. A., et al. (2001). (Development and characterisation of microsatellite loci in ''Eucalyptus globulus'' (Myrtaceae). ) ''Silvae Genetica'' 50(2), 89-91.〕 while others continue to debate the issue.〔Brummitt, R. K. (2003). (Further dogged defense of paraphyletic taxa. ) ''Taxon'' 52(4), 803-04.〕〔Nelson, G., et al. (2003). (Brummitt on paraphyly: a response. ) ''Taxon'' 52(2), 295-98.〕
Among the eucalypts, ''Angophora'' species were nicknamed "apples" by European settlers, who thought they resembled apple trees.〔 Many are still known commonly as apples today.〔
