It is native to Malesia and the South Pacific. It is found in Fiji, Java, Lesser Sunda Islands, Maluku, New Guinea, Philippines, Ryukyu Islands, Samoa, Society Islands, Solomon Islands, Taiwan, Tonga, Vanuatu and Wallis and Futuna Islands.[2]

The genus name of Maoutia is in honour of Emmanuel Le Maout (1799–1877), who was a French naturalist.[4]


Description


The leaves are alternate. The inflorescence branches dichotomously (i.e. it repeatedly divides into two) and the flowers are arranged in small clusters. The pistillate ("female") flowers have very small petals. Maoutia species resemble those of Leucosyke and Debregeasia.[3]


Species


As of September 2022, Plants of the World Online accepted 10 species;[2]
