1956
P. W. LEENHOUTS
<br />Some general notes are given on the morphology of the inflorescence<br />and flowers in the genus Dichapetalum and on the nomenclature of th<br />generic name Dichapetalum.<br />An attempt has been made to revise the c. 40 species described<br />in it from the Indo-Australian area. It appeared necessary to reduce a<br />large number of specific names to synonymy. In the present paper 16<br />species have been recognized among which 4 are new. Besides, a number of infraspecific taxa have been distinguished. Pentastira Ridley, referred to the Icacinaeeae, has been reduced to Dichapetalum. A census is given of Indo-Australian species including one extra-Malaysian one, 16 D. vitiense.
