This geniis includes a small tree with very hard wood, and of unknown value, introdiiced from a botanical gar- den of northern India by Reasoner Bros., Oneco, Pla. Lebidieropsis was reduced by Bentham and Hooker to the rank of a subgenus of Cleistanthus, but in the Flora of British India Hooker says that Lebidieropsis should probably be restored, the seeds being globose, while in Cleistanthus they are always oblong.
