Genus not in IPNI (accessed 21 April 2020).

It is possible, but by no means certain, that M had changed his mind on the name to use. The Kew specimen, collected by Hill and M, is described as Atalaya multiflora in Bentham (1863-78), vol. 1, p. 463; that is also the name under which the Melbourne sheet is stored.
