New Guinea was described by Crisp et al. (1995) as “actually southern New Guinea, mainly the
monsoonal region; none of the taxa included in this study extend to the highlands, and only Embothriinae (Albxylon
brachycarpum) occur in rainforest” (Crisp et al. 1995: 459). The name has been changed to Southern New Guinea, as
the original designation and map by Crisp et al. (1995) do not include much of the area south of the Central Range.
