Abstract

Aglaia Lour. (Meliaceae) comprises approximately 120 species in Indomalesia, Australia and the Western Pacific with 12 occurring in Australia and four or five considered endemic (Pannell 2013); however, A. tomentosa Teijsm. & Binn. was erroneously included in that conclusion (pers. comm. C. Pannell 2021). Five species are now recognised as endemic to Australia: A. australiensis Pannell, A. cooperae Pannell, [Extract] A. ferruginea C.T.White & W.D.Francis, A. meridionalis Pannell and A. monticola W.E.Cooper & P.I.Forst. sp.nov. The Australian species all occur in rainforest communities in the Northern Territory (two species), Queensland (12 species) and Western Australia (two species). The greatest concentration of the Australian species is in north Queensland with centres of species diversity in the Wet Tropics and Cape York Peninsula Bioregions. The southern limit for Aglaia in Australia is at Mary River Heads between Hervey Bay and Maryborough (Forster et al. 1991).
