'''''Pittosporum phillyreoides''''', with the common names '''weeping pittosporum''' and '''willow pittosporum''', is a shrub or small columnar tree in the [[Apiales]] order, [[endemic]] to [[Australia]].<ref>[{{cite web |url=http://bie.ala.org.au/species/urn:lsid:biodiversity.org.au:apni.taxon:375720 |title=Pittosporum phillyreoides: Berrigan {{!}} Atlas of Living Australia |website=bie.ala.org.au |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160304200750/http://bie.ala.org.au/species/urn:lsid:biodiversity.org.au:apni.taxon:375720 |archive-date=2016-03-04}}</ref>
 
==Taxonomy==
This species is subject to some taxonomic confusion. It was originally published by [[Augustin Pyramus de Candolle]] in 1824, as a species native to a narrow coastal strip of northern [[Western Australia]], the epithet "phillyreoides" referring to a similarity with ''[[Phillyrea]]''. Two more Western Australian species — ''[[Pittosporum angustifolium|P.&nbsp;angustifolium]]'' and ''[[Pittosporum ligustrifolium|P.&nbsp;ligustrifolium]]''— were published over the next 15 years, and [[George Bentham]] later lumped together all three as a single species under the misspelled name ''P.&nbsp;phillyraeoides''. These three were re-split in a 2000 classification revision.<ref name=cayzer>{{cite journal|title= Revision of Pittosporum (Pittosporaceae) in Australia|url=http://www.publish.csiro.au/paper/SB99021.htm|journal=Australian Systematic Botany|year=2000 |doi=10.1071/sb99021|last1=Cayzer |first1=Lindy W. |last2=Crisp |first2=Michael D. |last3=Telford |first3=Ian R. H. |volume=13 |issue=6 |page=845 }}</ref> but in the 2001 ARS Systematic Botanists revision, ''Pittosporum phillyreoides'' was recombined and became a synonym for ''Pittosporum angustifolium''.<ref>[https://npgsweb.ars-grin.gov/gringlobal/taxonomydetail.aspx?id=419412 U.S. National Plant Germplasm System—GRIN.gov: ''Pittosporum phillyreoides'', Synonym of ''Pittosporum angustifolium'']; Name Verified on: Nov-2001 by ARS Systematic Botanists; (Last Changed: 04-Feb-2007);. accessed 7.7.2017.</ref> Neither circumscription has yet won universal acceptance.
[[Botanist]] and [[taxonomist]] [[George Bentham]] combined this species and ''Pittosporum ligustrifolium'' with ''[[Pittosporum angustifolium]]''. All three were re-split in a 2000 classification revision, with the weeping foliage of ''P. angustifolium'' apparently distinguishing it from the other two species.<ref name=cayzer>{{cite web|title=Revision of Pittosporum (Pittosporaceae) in Australia|url=http://www.publish.csiro.au/paper/SB99021.htm|work=Cayzer Lindy W., Crisp Michael D., Telford Ian R.

However, in the 2001 ARS Systematic Botanists revision, ''Pittosporum phillyreoides'' was recombined and became a synonym for ''Pittosporum angustifolium''. <ref>[https://npgsweb.ars-grin.gov/gringlobal/taxonomydetail.aspx?id=419412 U.S. National Plant Germplasm System—GRIN.gov: ''Pittosporum phillyreoides'', Synonym of ''Pittosporum angustifolium'']; Name Verified on: Nov-2001 by ARS Systematic Botanists; (Last Changed: 04-Feb-2007); . accessed 7.7.2017.</ref>
 
==Distribution==
The 'original true' ''Pittosporum phillyreoides'' named by [[Augustin Pyramus de Candolle]] was only native to a narrow coastal strip of northern [[Western Australia]].
 
When considered as the synonym, ''Pittosporum angustifolium'' is native across Australia in [[New South Wales]], [[Queensland]], [[South Australia]], Victoria, [[Western Australia]], and the [[Northern Territory]]. <ref>[https://npgsweb.ars-grin.gov/gringlobal/taxonomydetail.aspx?id=419411 U.S. National Plant Germplasm System—GRIN.gov: ''Pittosporum angustifolium'' Lodd. et al. (synonym: ''Pittosporum phillyreoides'')] . accessed 7.7.2017.</ref>
 
==Cultivation==
''Pittosporum phillyreoides'', a name still seen used in the [[plant nursery]] trade, is cultivated as an [[ornamental tree]] for planting in [[garden]]s. It has a somewhat columnar growth with weeping form and foliage texture, and is [[xeriscape|drought tolerant]] once established.
