The protologue of Litsea mackeei states that its holotype is at P.\  However, two specimens bearing the type number appear to exist at P, the second specimen belonging to a species different from the first and bearing as well a label with a different collection number.\  Fortunately, a clear indication of which plant Kostermans was describing is provided by his handwritten annotation of the isotype at L.\  A lectotype is therefore chosen, the name is synonymized with Osmanthus austrocaledonicus var. austrocaledonicus and the origin of this unlikely error is discussed.
