Mallotus peltatus is a species of flowering plant in the family Euphorbiaceae, native from India to Papuasia. [1] It was first described by Eduard Ferdinand Geiseler in 1807 as Aleurites peltatus. [2]
Mallotus peltatus is native to southeast China, Hainan, the Indian region, the Andaman Islands, Cambodia, Myanmar, the Nicobar Islands, Thailand, Vietnam, Malesia (Borneo, Java, the Lesser Sunda Islands, Peninsular Malaysia, the Maluku Islands, the Philippines, Sulawesi and Sumatra), the Bismarck Archipelago and New Guinea. [1]
Mallotus odoratus was assessed as "vulnerable" in the 1998 IUCN Red List, where it is said to be native only to a single island in the Philippines. [3] As of February 2023 [update] , this species was regarded included within Mallotus peltatus, which has a very much wider distribution. [1]
Mallotus is a genus of the spurge family Euphorbiaceae first described as a genus in 1790. Two species are found in tropical Africa and Madagascar. All the other species are found in East Asia, the Indian Subcontinent, Southeast Asia, eastern Australia, and certain islands of the western Pacific. The genus has about 150 species of dioecious trees or shrubs.
Plumeria, known as frangipani, is a genus of flowering plants in the subfamily Rauvolfioideae, of the family Apocynaceae. Most species are deciduous shrubs or small trees. The species variously are endemic to Mexico, Central America, and the Caribbean, and as far south as Brazil and north as Florida, but are sometimes grown as cosmopolitan ornamentals in warm regions. Common names for plants in the genus vary widely according to region, variety, and whim, but frangipani or variations on that theme are the most common. Plumeria is also used as a common name, especially in horticultural circles.
Claoxylon is a flowering plant genus in the spurge family, Euphorbiaceae, comprising dioecious subshrubs to small trees. It was first described as a genus in 1824. The genus is distributed in paleotropical areas: Madagascar through South and Southeast Asia, Malesia to Melanesia, Hawaiʻi, and Australia. Half of the species are in Malesia. According to a molecular phylogenetic study by Wurdack, Hoffmann & Chase (2005), Claoxylon is sister to Erythrococca, and together they form the top of a Hennigian comb-like phylogeny.
