Johnson, O. (2022), 'Meliosma pinnata' from the website Trees and Shrubs Online (treesandshrubsonline.
In Frits van Beusekom’s 1971 revision (van Beusekom 1971) M. oldhamii is reduced to the status of M. pinnata subsp. arnottiana (Wight) van Beusekom var. oldhamii (Miq.) van Beusekom, a cumbersome name to say the least. This taxonomy has largely been superseded, with the result that M. pinnata (in the modern sense) is not represented in western gardens.
