Mez, C.C. in Engler, H.G.A. (6 May 1902), Myrsinaceae. Das Pflanzenreich 9: 354-355 [tax. nov.]

• Type: "Neu-Süd-Wales und Viktoria: am Hastings-River und Barebin-Creek (F. Müller), am oberen Yarra (Martin), ohne Standortsangabe (Mc. Arthur n. 233)."

taxonomic synonym: Myrsine howittiana Mez nom. inval., pro syn.

• Comment: Mez cites the authorship of this name as "(F. Muell.) Mez" but the intended basionym had not been validly published. This is thus here treated as the name of a new taxon rather than as a new combination.
