Didymocheton mollis is a species of flowering plant in the family Meliaceae. It is a tree native to Sulawesi, the Maluku Islands, New Guinea, and the Bismarck Archipelago.[1]
It is most closely related to Didymocheton mollissimus of Malesia and mainland Southeast Asia, D. alliaceus of the Solomon Islands and western Pacific Islands, and D. muelleri of northeastern Australia.[2]
Taxonomy
The species was first described as Dysoxylum molle by
polyphyletic, and that the Australian population constituted a distinct species from the northern population. The species was placed in the revived genus Didymocheton, with the Sulawesi-to-Bismarck Archipelago population renamed Didymocheton mollis, and the Australian population under the new combination Didymocheton muelleri.[2]
The Australian population is still widely known as Dysoxylum mollissimum subsp. molle.
