Well, *Glochidion *J.R. Forst. & G.Forst. is a distinct genus of the family Phyllanthaceae as per the current usage and it is closely related to *Phyllanthus *L., differing in the absence of the disc glands in the flowers. There have been proposals to merge the genera *Glochidion, Sauropus *and *Breynia *under *Phyllanthus. *However, it has also be suggested that if such a merger is done, *Phyllanthus *will become a mega-genus and the situation will then become highly complicated from the taxonomic point of view. Unless further studies are made leading on to more convincing interpretations, it seems appropriate to treat *Glochidion *as a distinct genus for the present. Hence the species under consideration here should be maintained under the genus *Glochidion *as the disc glands are absent in the flowers. Thanking you. Best regards.
