Notes: Note: If Myristica agusanensis Elmer and Gymnacranthera lanceolata Merr. are considered conspecific, the epithet of the latter name is the oldest available for this species (and is not blocked by Myristica lanceolata Wall. 1828, a nomen nudum with no nomenclatural priority). The combination Myristica lanceolata (Merr.) ined. therefore needs to be made to replace Myristica agusanensis Elmer as the correct name, because the epithet of Gymnacranthera lanceolata Merr. (1906) has priority over the epithet of Myristica agusanensis Elmer (1915) (John Boggan, pers. comm. 3-Nov-18). Native.
