Taxonomy
Section Horsfieldia is monotypic, the species H. iryaghedhi deviating from all other Horsfieldias by some anatomical characters of the leaf, male flowers sessile and arranged in dense heads with a thick receptacle, angular buds, anthers largely connate, but not back to back so that a narrowly hollowed central column is formed; the stigma in the female flowers is many-lobed, not 2-lobed as in the other Horsfieldia species.
