Abstract

This taxonomic revision of Xylocarpus recognizes three species in the genus, viz.: X. granatum, X. moluccensis and X. rumphii. Detailed descriptions and illustrations are provided for the species based on fresh collections as well as holdings in herbaria. Additional characters overlooked by earlier workers in the field are also employed to determine the species. The taxonomic and nomenclatural tangle in each species is resolved and status indicated. The name X. granatum is lectotypified on t. 61 in Rumphius' Herbarium Amboinense.
