Mallotus peltatus is a species of flowering plant in the family Euphorbiaceae, native from India to Papuasia.[1] It was first described by Eduard Ferdinand Geiseler in 1807 as Aleurites peltatus.[2]

Distribution

Mallotus peltatus is native to southeast China, Hainan, the Indian region, the Andaman Islands, Cambodia, Myanmar, the Nicobar Islands, Thailand, Vietnam, Malesia (Borneo, Java, the Lesser Sunda Islands, Peninsular Malaysia, the Maluku Islands, the Philippines, Sulawesi and Sumatra), the Bismarck Archipelago and New Guinea.[1]

Conservation

Mallotus odoratus was assessed as "vulnerable" in the 1998 IUCN Red List, where it is said to be native only to a single island in the Philippines.[3] As of February 2023, this species was regarded included within Mallotus peltatus, which has a very much wider distribution.[1]
