— This section comprises eight species and it is distinguishable from sect. Protostreblus by the distichous arrangement of the leaves, and from the other Asian-Australasian sections by the tepals of the pistillate flower, which are not or only slightly enlarged in fruit. This section is distinctly concentrated in the eastern part of the range of the genus. One of the species, Streblus pendulinus, extends just into the Malesian region. Only S. glaber is widespread in this region and occurs also in Australia (Queensland). The other five are elements of the Pacific region: Streblus anthropophagarum (Seem.) Corner, incl. S. solomonenis Corner (from the Solomon Islands to Marquesas Islands), S. banksii (Cheeseman) C.J. Webb () in New Zealand, S. heterophyllus (Blume) Corner (1962) in New Zealand, S. sclerophyllus Corner () in New Caledonia, S. smithii (Cheeseman) Corner (1962) in New Zealand, and S. tahitensis (Nadeaud) Corner (1962) in Tahiti.
