Notes
Acalyphaclaoxyloides is widespread in the Seychelles archipelago. It is very close to A.pubiflora (Klotzsch) Baill., known from south-eastern Africa (Botswana, Malawi, Mozambique, South Africa and Zimbabwe), of which it may be a synonym. More studies of the African material, as well as the Australian material treated as A.pubifloravar.australica Radcl.-Sm. (Radcliffe-Smith 1990[7], 1996[8]), is needed to unravel the A.pubiflora complex.
