Masam., Memoirs of the Faculty of Science and Agriculture Taihoku Imperial University 11 Bot. 4: 568 (1934) . REMARKS According to Jarret (1986) this name is synonymous to M. balbisiana Colla , based on comparison of enzyme polymorphisms. In our opinion they are related, and the taxon of Matsumoto should be treated as a variety of M. balbisiana . We propose a new combination: M. balbisiana Colla var. liukiuensis (Matsum.)
