Clausena smyrelliana Forster (2000: 716) was described from several gatherings collected from a few plants growing in littoral microphyll vineforests of South-East Queensland, Australia. Because of its rarity and of severe threats on its natural habitat, it has been listed as `Endangered' under Queensland's Nature Conservation Act 1992 (Atlas of Living Australia 2015). However, the combination of a long style (> 1/2 pistil length), lack of gynophore, straight staminal filaments, subcylindrical buds, and corymbiform inflorescence, excludes this species from Clausena Burman (1768: 87) and places it into Murraya J. Koenig (in Linne 1771: 554) (Molino 1994: 107). A close examination of figures in Forster (2000) and of images of type specimens (e.g. Fig. 1B) led me to propose the following new synonymy
