This and the Indian B. commutata should perhaps rank as 

 varieties of B. santaloides. Indeed Bentham goes further and 

 unites B. caudata, Planch., B. javanica, Blume, and B. humilis, 

 Blutne, with B. santaloides ; and as thus constituted the species has 

 a very wide range in tropical Asia. Hooker (Fl. Brit. Ind. n. 

 p. 47) includes China in the range of B. commutata, though he 

 does not cite B. Millettii as a synonym.
