REMARKS

The name is homotypic with M. uranoscopos Seem. , which is an earlier synonym of M. uranoscopos Lour. Von Mueller (1875) invented a new name for M. uranoscopos Seem. , which is illegitimate ( McNeill et al. 2006: Art. 52), as he was aware of M. uranoscopos Rumph. , which is, albeit a pre-Linnaean name, an available name. There is a sheet at K!, with an annotation “ M. seemanii sp. n. ”. The collection originated from Fiji.
