Synonym: Sauropus rhamnoides Blume. Photographer: Dr. Santanu Dey. Location: Nagaland, India.Habit: Shrubs or small trees, sometimes scandent or climing. Habitat: In inland forests or edges of primary forests at low altitudes. Distribution: India (Nicobar Islands, North-eastern India), Myanmar, Thailand, Cambodia, Vietnam, Malaysia, Indonesia, Philippines and Lesser Sunda Islands. After examining the type of Breynia lanceolata as well as Sauropus rhamnoides, I now feel that this is a misidentification. This should be the common species Breynia retusa.
