Maxwellia lepidota is a species of shrubs or trees in the family Malvaceae. It is endemic to New Caledonia and the only species of the monotypic genus Maxwellia.[1] Its closest relatives are all Australian genera in tribe Lasiopetaleae: Guichenotia, Hannafordia, Lysiosepalum, Lasiopetalum and Thomasia.[2]
The genus name of Maxwellia is in honour of Maxwell T. Masters (1833–1907), an English botanist and taxonomist.[3] The Latin specific epithet of lepidota refers to the Greek word lepidotus' meaning scaly.[4] Both genus and species were first described and published in Adansonia Vol.10 on page 100 in 1871.[5]
