This species is common in thickets in the vicinity of Canton. Jablonszky 
places Cleistanthus monoicus (Lour.) Muell.-Arg. among the species omnino 
dubiae, but there is no doubt in my mind as to the correctness of the 
present interpretation. Loureiro’s type was from Canton, and his descrip- 
tion in all essentials, except for the description of the fruit, applies word 
for word to this common species. The only differences are in his descrip- 
tion of the leaves as glabrous (they are glabrous above and sparingly 
pubescent beneath) and in characterizing the fruit as a 3-celled, 1-seeded 
capsule; the fruit is a small drupe. This discrepancy is explained by the 
certainty that Loureiro saw no fruits, but made the description of them 
conform to the generic description of Clutia as quoted by him. Bridelia 
monoica (Lour.) Merr. is the only species known from southern China 
that conforms at all to Loureiro’s description. No Cleistanthus is known 
from China.

An entirely glabrous shrub, 2 to 4 m high, the branches terete, 
dark-grayish, somewhat rugose, the branchlets reddish-brown,

margins entire, recurved, the upper surface olivaceous or brown- 
ish-olivaceous, shining, the lower surface brownish, densely and 
very minutely puncticulate, the midrib impressed on the upper
