A new, cassowary-dispersed, species of Aglaia (Meliaceae, section Amoora) from Papua New Guinea

Abstract:
A new species of Aglaia, A. mackaiana Pannell, from Papua New Guinea is described. In vegetative characters this species is close to, but distinct from, A. flavida Merr. & L. M. Perry, while the fruits are quite distinct and much larger. A. mackinana has the largest fruits and seeds known in the genus. The arillate seeds are swallowed and dispersed by Dwarf Cassowaries.
