“…Phyllagathis was based on P. rotundifolia (Jack) Blume, a species endemic to Burma, Thailand, Peninsular Malaysia, and Sumatra (Blume, ). It comprises approximately 70 species distributed from southern China, Vietnam, Laos, Thailand, and western Malaysia to Sumatra and Borneo (Cellinese, ; Chen & Renner, ; Wangwasit et al, ; Lin et al, ; Mathew et al, ; Tian et al, ; Lin et al, ; Vu et al, ), with 25–28 species recorded from China (Chen, ; Chen & Renner, ).
