Trithuria sect. Trithuria is a section within the genus Trithuria[2] native to Australia.[4]

Description

Fruiting Trithuria submersa in Tasmannia, Australia

The dehiscent fruit is a apocarpous monomerous follicle, which splits into three parts.[5] The strongly sculptured seed does not have a thick cuticular layer.[3]

Taxonomy

The type species is Trithuria submersa Hook. f.[2][3]

Species

It has three species:[2][3]

Etymology

The section name Trithuria is derived from the Greek words τρεις treis meaning "three", and θυρις thyris meaning "window". It references the dehiscence of the fruit.[6][7]

Distribution

Its species occur in Australia (Southwest Western Australia, Tasmania, and Southeast mainland Australia).[4]

Phylogeny

Trithuria sect. Trithuria split from Trithuria sect. Hydatella about 16 million years ago in the Early Miocene.[1][8]
