Notes:
The presence of this taxon in Madagascar is questionable. It is quite possible that the species is actually endemic to Mauritius. Baillon (Bull. Mens. Soc. Paris 1(60): 480. 1885) questionably recorded the species for Madagascar based on Du Petit-Thouars material. The confusion surrounding the distribution could be due to (incorrectly?) labelled type material that was collected by Du Petit-Thouars (see Marais & Jellis, Fl. Mascareignes 161 (Urticacees) 11. 1985). [Z.S. Rogers, 2014]
