Aspects of vegetative and floral morphology and anatomy of five species of Eucryphia Cav. are described. Differences in wood structure, type and complexity of petiole and leaf vascularization, presence or absence of complex abaxial cuticular protrusions on the leaves, and patterns of floral vasculature are useful in species delimitation. Anatomical data are in agreement with the inclusion of Eucryphiaceae in the Rosales near Cunoniaceae.
