Abstract:Glochidion fortunei Hance was reduced to a synonym of G. puber (L.) Hutch. in Flora Reipublicae Popularis Sinicae and Flora of China, but accepted as an independent species in Flora of Guangdong. However, the results from morphological comparison and literature examination suggest that G. fortunei is conspecific with G. rubrum Blume, we therefore reduce G. fortunei to a synonymy of the latter. Additionally, we also found that the combination Glochidion "puberum" is a correctable error for G. puber.
