Abstract:Glochidion nubigenum Hook. f. was described as a newly recorded species to China in 1988, however the voucher specimen (B.S. Li & S.Z. Chen 4533; collected in Motuo County, China) cited then was misidentified and it actually belongs to G. mishmiense Hook. f. In addition, the morphological description of G. nubigenum provided in both Flora Republica Popularis Sinicae and Flora of China also conflicted with the morphology of the voucher specimen mentioned above and also the actual G. nubigenum, thus it is evident that the distribution of G. nubigenum in China as recorded previously seems to be questionable. Recently, during a field investigation conducted in Yadong County, Tibet, China, a wild population of the actual G. nubigenum was discovered. Thus the information about the distribution of G. nubigenum in China is revised and detailed morphological description as well as the field images of the species are provided here.
