Abstract
Bartholomaea has remained of uncertain tribal affinities within Flacourtiaceae since its description, having been allied by various authors with the tribes Casearieae or Scolopieae. However, scanning electron microscope examination of floral morphology has uncovered characters that indicate a relationship withNeopringlea andTrimeria of tribe Homalieae.
