This listing was sourced from Flora Malesiana,^[2] and the Australian Plant Name Index and Australian Plant Census.:^[3]

• Lepidopetalum fructoglabrum Welzen – New Guinea^[9]
• Lepidopetalum micans Lauterb. & K.Schum. – New Guinea^[10]
• Lepidopetalum montanum (Blume) Radlk. – Andaman Is. and Nicobar Is., Sumatra^[11]
• Lepidopetalum perrottetii (Cambess.) Blume – Philippines^[12]
• Lepidopetalum subdichotomum Radlk. – Solomon Is., New Guinea, New Britain, New Ireland, Bougainville^[13]
• Lepidopetalum xylocarpum Radlk. – New Guinea^[14]

The species identification of the trees which grow naturally in Cape York Peninsula, Australia, has differed through recent history and between published sources. In 1985 Sally T. Reynolds published the name L. subdichotomum for them, in her scientific paper and the Flora of Australia treatment.^[7][15] In Peter C. van Welzen's 1992 genus review scientific paper and 1994 Flora Malesiana treatment only L. xylocarpum has the NE. Australia distribution record.^[4][14] As of November 2013^[update] the Australian Plant Name Index implies the accepted name of L. xylocarpum for Australian plants and the name L. subdichotomum as misapplied to them, but the Australian Plant Census has not explicitly recorded that current accepted name;^[3] the previous current accepted name L. fructoglabrum no longer appears listed.^[15][16] The Queensland Herbarium's 2013 Census of the Queensland Flora, the 2004 Fruits of the Australian Tropical Rainforest major book and the Australian Tropical Rainforest Plants information system (Dec 2010) record L. fructoglabrum as the accepted name.^[8][17][18] Hence as of November 2013^[update], collectively these sources indicate that the species identification of the NE. Australian trees remains uncertain.
