Notes:
Some doubts still persist about the need to recognize the genus Lobanilia as separate from Claoxylon. The leaves seem to be the only character with the stellate pubescence. We prefer to maintain the status quo until new evidence became available, especially regarding molecular phylogeny. On specimen does not match any of the 7 taxa recognized here and may represent a new species, on the other hand L. ovalis and L. luteobrunnea looks morphologically very similar and may be recognized as synonyms in the future.
