Abstract
The name Ptychosperma macarthurii (syn . nov. Ptychosperma bleeseri) is formally adopted by the research staff of the Northern Territory Herbarium as applying to Northern Territory populations of this widespread northern Australian and Papua New Guinean species. This decision was reached after careful appraisal of the published literature before and since the rediscovery of P bleeseri in the Northern Territory in 1982. This decision takes into consideration results from previously published works including: comments made by the original author of the species, assessment of taxonomic decisions made in the world-wide revision of Ptychosperma, taxonomic assessment of the species complex containing P macarthurii, isozyme analysis of the NT and some Queensland populations, and biogeographical evidence of other monsoon rainforest species.
