This study is a classical taxonomic revision of the Murraya section (Rutaceae) in Taiwan based on a broad survey of herbarium specimens and living plants in the field. The results indicate that the plant currently known as Taiwan Murraya paniculata (L.) Jack. should be in fact two different species and one variant. In this paper we propose the species be scientifically renamed: M. exotica L. and confirm a new species: M. paniculata (L.) Jack.. A table of contents for proposed scientific names and areas of distribution is provided. |
