Mischocarpus is a genus of about nineteen species of trees known to science, constituting part of the plant family Sapindaceae.^[2] They grow naturally from Australia and New Guinea, though Malesia as far north as the Philippines, through SE. Asia, Indo-China and S. China, to India at their farthest west. The eleven Australian species known to science grow naturally in the rainforests of the eastern coastal zone of New South Wales and Queensland, from Newcastle northwards through to north-eastern Queensland and Cape York Peninsula.^[2][3]

Naming and classification

In 1825 Carl L. Blume first formally published this genus name and its type species M. sundaicus.^[1]

In 1879 Ludwig A. T. Radlkofer first formally published new names of many species.^[4]

In 1977 R. W. J. M. van der Ham published a revision of the genus, including new names of species.^[5]
