Basionym.

Maniltoa peekelii Harms, Bot. Jahrb. Syst. 55 (1): 50. 1917. Syn. Maniltoa schefferi var peekelii (Harms) Verdc. Type. [PAPUA NEW GUINEA]. Neu-Mecklenburg (New Ireland): Lemakot, Garamate, Strandebene, July 1912, G. Peekel 841 (holotype: B, destroyed). PAPUA NEW GUINEA. New Ireland District [Province]: [Island of New Ireland], Kavieng Sub-District [District], ca. 26 miles from Kavieng, inland from Lavongai, 2°46'S, 151°2'E, 0 m alt., 24 Jan. 1967, M.J.E. Coode, T.

Note.

When Verdcourt (1977) published the above name at a new rank, he did not name a neotype. He did cite several representative specimens and specifically men tioned Coode et al NGF 29604 as a specimen he was certain belonged to this species. Given that it is well represented in herbaria and was collected near the original type locality, this specimen has been chosen as the neotype.
