The alliance of this species is manifestly with Casearia vilUUmba Merr. 

 and C. grewiaefolia Vent, as the latter is interpreted by Gagnepain. It 

 inipresses me as being well characterized by its unusually large, coria- 

 ceous, many-nerved leaves as well as by its unusually dense indumentum.

We hâve seen no spécimens of this species and do not know whether 

 or not the same form may hâve been treated by Gagnepain, Lecomte, 

 FI. Gén. Indo-Chine 2: 1095-1120. 1921, under some other name. At 

 any rate Irmscher's species was based on Indo-Chinese material. The 

 original description is repeated in the 1927 and 1931 références.
