The Plant list says Asystasia macrocarpa Nees is an accepted name and Mackaya macrocarpa (Nees) Das is an unresolved name.

The Plant List Ver.1.1 is based on WCSP (in review) (data supplied on 2012-03-23). As it is based on data supplied on 23.3.12, which is shown as under review at that time, I have considered Catalogue of Life which is updated on Dec 2017.
