Philotheca is a genus
of flowering plants belonging to the family Rutaceae
. Many plants formerly in Eriostemon
are now in this genus. http://farrer.csu.edu.au/ASGAP/APOL13/mar99-3.html
Philotheca is a genus of about 45 species, all of which occur only in Australia. The genus has been recently increased in number by the transfer of about 39 species from the genus Eriostemon. Transferred species include Philotheca myoporoides which was previously known as Eriostemon myoporoides. Philotheca is closely related to the well-known Boronia, the most obvious distinction being the presence of 4 petals in Boronia and 5 in Philotheca. The leaves are also opposite in Boronia and alternate in Philotheca.
