Tasmannia
''Tasmannia'' is a genus of woody, evergreen flowering plants of the family Winteraceae. The 40 species of ''Tasmannia'' are native to Australia, New Guinea, Celebes, Borneo, and the Philippines. The Winteraceae are magnoliids, and are associated with the humid Antarctic flora of the Southern Hemisphere. The members of the family generally have aromatic bark and leaves, and some are used to extract essential oils. The peppery-flavored fruits and leaves (especially dried) of this genus are increasingly used as a condiment in Australia. The peppery flavour can be attributed to polygodial.
==Taxonomy==
The first description of the genus was published by Robert Brown.
The species of ''Tasmannia'' were formerly classified in genus ''Drimys'', a related group of Winteraceae native to the Neotropics. Recent studies have led to an increasing consensus among botanists to split the genus into two, with the Neotropical species remaining in genus ''Drimys'', and the Australasian species classified in genus ''Tasmannia''.〔Doust, A.N., Drinnan, A.N., Floral development and molecular phylogeny support the generic status of Tasmannia (Winteraceae), ''American Journal of Botany'',Vol. 91, pp321-331., 2004〕
