Distribution and habitat.

Glochidion puber is widely distributed in China and also recorded in Kyushu of Japan. It occurs usually on slopes, or in scrub on stream banks, forest margins, roadsides, at altitudes between 100 and 2200 m. In Taiwan, the species is distributed from Miaoli, to Changhua, Nantou and Taichung.

Taxonomic discussion.

The species differs from all other Glochidion species in Taiwan by its annular styles (Figure 2L View Figure 2 ), and the persistent annular styles on capsules which are not, or only slightly, elevated (Figure 2P View Figure 2 ).
