Acradenia frankliniae grown by Griselda Kerr in Derbyshire, suggesting that this supposedly tender species should be much more widely planted in Britain, at least (July 2021). Image Caroline Boisset.

The species described below is the sole member of the genus, which is endemic to Tasmania. The generic name refers to the glands at the summit of the carpels.

From the Supplement (Vol.V)

The genus is now considered to comprise two species – A. frankliniae in Tasmania only and A. euodiiformis (F. v. Muell.) T. G. Hartley in Queensland and New South Wales (Journ. Am. Arb., Vol. 58, pp. 171–81 (1977)).
