Lepidopetalum is a genus of six species of trees known to science, constituting part of the plant family Sapindaceae. [2] [4] [5] [6]

Contents

They grow naturally in New Guinea, New Britain, New Ireland, Bougainville, the Andaman and Nicobar Islands, Sumatra and Cape York Peninsula, Queensland, Australia. [2] [6] [7] [8]

Species

This listing was sourced from Flora Malesiana , [2] and the Australian Plant Name Index and Australian Plant Census .: [3]

The species identification of the trees which grow naturally in Cape York Peninsula, Australia, has differed through recent history and between published sources. In 1985 Sally T. Reynolds published the name L. subdichotomum for them, in her scientific paper and the Flora of Australia treatment. [7] [15] In Peter C. van Welzen's 1992 genus review scientific paper and 1994 Flora Malesiana treatment only L. xylocarpum has the NE. Australia distribution record. [4] [14] As of November 2013 the Australian Plant Name Index implies the accepted name of L. xylocarpum for Australian plants and the name L. subdichotomum as misapplied to them, but the Australian Plant Census has not explicitly recorded that current accepted name; [3] the previous current accepted name L. fructoglabrum no longer appears listed. [15] [16] The Queensland Herbarium's 2013 Census of the Queensland Flora, the 2004 Fruits of the Australian Tropical Rainforest major book and the Australian Tropical Rainforest Plants information system (Dec 2010) record L. fructoglabrum as the accepted name. [8] [17] [18] Hence as of November 2013, collectively these sources indicate that the species identification of the NE. Australian trees remains uncertain.

<i>Lepiderema</i> Genus of trees

Lepiderema is a genus of nine species of trees from the family Sapindaceae. As of November 2013 botanists know of seven species growing naturally in Australia and two species in New Guinea. Published botanical science provides a limited knowledge of the full range of diversity in Australia and especially in New Guinea. In New Guinea the two known species have descriptions based each on only a single type specimen collection. Therefore, collection of more specimens and more species is most likely in New Guinea. In Australia they grow in rainforests of the northern half of the east coast side of the Great Dividing Range, from northeastern New South Wales through to northeastern Queensland.

The eleven Australian species known to science grow naturally in the rainforests of the eastern coastal zone of New South Wales and Queensland, from Newcastle northwards through to north-eastern Queensland and Cape York Peninsula.

<i>Jagera pseudorhus</i> Species of tree

Jagera pseudorhus, commonly named foambark, is a species of rainforest trees, in the northern half of eastern Australia and in New Guinea, constituting part of the flowering plant family Sapindaceae. Named for the saponin foam that forms on the bark after heavy rain.
