It is unnecessary here to repeat the excellent reasons given by 
Mr. Hemsley in n Hooker’s Icones Plantarum, tab. 2563-64, for keeping 
Phyllanthodendron separate from Phyllanthus. A comparison of this 
plate with those quoted above will show how remarkably similar the 
floral structure is in the two species.
