Alectryon macrococcus (mahoe) Alectryon macrococcus, a long-lived perennial member of the soapberry family (Sapindaceae), consists of two varieties, macrococcus and auwahiensis, both trees with reddish-brown branches and net-veined paper- or leather-like leaves with one to five pairs of sometimes asymmetrical egg-shaped leaflets.
The four varieties, anomala, laxiflora, longibracteata, and princeps, are distinguished by the branching and pubescence of the stems; the size, pubescence, and venation of the leaves; the density of the inflorescence; and the orientation of the flowers (Wagner et al.

The anomaly was because Level IV (and III) descriptions are characterised by genus (and not species) and the difficulties in assigning dominance in some vegetation types.
NVIS collaborators have agreed that in some cases, one genus is inadequate to describe the floristics of some strata at Level IV.
(If a double hat is used on one genus in a stratum, one genus is written in Level IV with the word "mixed" afterwards.) Only one growth form hat per stratum is permitted and this must match one of the two genera marked with the double hat.

Rambutan and pulasan are strictly tropical, while lychee and longan crop best in the warm sub-tropics or at elevation in the tropics.
Lychee is a long-lived, evergreen tree that produces its new leaves, flowers and fruit on terminal shoots.
There are seven species in the genus Euphoria, all from tropical and sub-tropical Asia, but longan is the only one significantly grown for its edible fruit.

Evolution and biogeography of Alectryon (Sapindaceae).Phylogenetic analysis of nucleotide sequences from four plastid loci (matK, partial trnK-matK introns, rps16 intron) and one nuclear locus (the internal transcribed spacer of rDNA; ITS-1) was conducted for 14 species of Alectryon and five related genera in Sapindaceae.
One robustly supported clade is characterized by smooth arils and petals, in contrast to the taxa in the other major clade which have patterned arils and an absence of petals.
The majority of the Australian Alectryon appear to belong to the tropical monsoonal/arid flora with species from both lineages being found in representative vine thickets across northern Australia.

Tim Low, author of The New Nature and Feral Future (and other books), led a ‘biology walk and talk’ session around the Rocky Creek Dam environs on Big Scrub Day 2004, and his wide-ranging knowledge of natural history made it an interesting and informative experience.
Our first stop was beside a Hairy Alectryon (Alectryon tomentosus), which Tim told us was a good species to plant because its fruits are attractive to birds, and can provide them with an alternative food source to Camphor Laurel and Privet fruits.
Tim noted that the genus Flindersia has a split distribution, occurring both in coastal regions and inland, but not in areas dominated by Eucalptus forests.
