, an endemic genus to the Hawaiian Islands containing four species, has long been considered of obscure origin. Recent molecular phylogenetic studies have unequivocally placed within the widespread genus as sister to the rest of the Hawaiian species of . This makes submerging into necessary. We make the necessary new combinations: (Hillebr.) Appelhans, K.R. Wood & W.L. Wagner, M. cornuta var. decurrens (B.C.Stone) Appelhans, K.R. Wood & W.L. Wagner, (Sherff) Appelhans, K.R. Wood & W.L. Wagner, and (Hillebr.) Appelhans, K.R. Wood & W.L. Wagner. An additional species that has been recognized within should now be recognized under its original name A. Gray. All Hawaiian species belong to Melicope section Pelea. Our molecular phylogenetic studies also showed that in addition to merging Platydesma into section Pelea, five species described from New Caledonia need to be excluded from the section in order to achieve monophyly of section Pelea.
这是一个夏威夷群岛特有的属，包含四个物种，长期以来其起源一直不明。最近的分子系统发育研究明确地将其置于广泛分布的属内，作为夏威夷其余物种的姐妹群。这使得将其并入该属成为必要。我们进行了必要的新组合：（希勒布兰德）阿佩尔汉斯、K.R. 伍德和W.L. 瓦格纳的[物种名称1]，（B.C. 斯通）阿佩尔汉斯、K.R. 伍德和W.L. 瓦格纳的具下延叶变叶[物种名称2]，（谢尔夫）阿佩尔汉斯、K.R. 伍德和W.L. 瓦格纳的[物种名称3]，以及（希勒布兰德）阿佩尔汉斯、K.R. 伍德和W.L. 瓦格纳的[物种名称4]。在[原属名]中曾被认可的另一个物种现在应恢复其原名阿氏[物种名称5]。所有夏威夷物种都属于蜜茱萸属的佩雷亚组。我们的分子系统发育研究还表明，除了将扁果蜜茱萸并入佩雷亚组外，为了使佩雷亚组成为单系群，需要将从新喀里多尼亚描述的五个物种排除在该组之外。
