Miscellaneous information:
Published with four species (on p.70): M. odoratissimus, M. macranthus, M. peduncularis and M. incrassatus, the latter two with a question mark. According to Kostermans (Reinwardtia 6: 189-194. 1962 and Ann. Missouri Bot. Gard. 77: 545-548. 1990) Machilus Nees (1831) is a later homonym of Machilus Desrousseaux (1791), which presumably did not include any species currently treated as Machilus. However, Brummitt (Taxon 59: 1276. 2010) considered Machilus Desrousseaux not validly published.
