Taxonomy & Nomenclature
Synonym/s: Podocarpus rostratus var. perrieri (Gaussen & Woltz) Silba in J. Int. Conifer Preserv. Soc. 7: 39 (2000); Podocarpus rostratus subsp. perrieri (Gaussen & Woltz) Silba in J. Int. Conifer Preserv. Soc. 17: 18 (2010)
There has historically been some doubt over the species' validity, with some authors considering it synonymous with P. rostratus (de Laubenfels, 1985; Eckenwalder, 2009). But it has been more recently treated as a valid species, starting with (Farjon, 2010; fide Earle, 2023).
