Notes:

Phyllodon contains at least four and possibly more species with a pantropical distribution (cf. Buck, 1987). In Bolivia and the Neotropics a single species is present Phyllodon truncatulus (Müll. Hal.) W. R. Buck. The complanately arranged oblong-ovate leaves with an obtuse to truncate apex, seriate papillae (2-4) over cell lumen and projecting at distal cell angle, and weakly differentiated alar cells characterize Phyllodon. Previously placed in Glossadelphus (cf. Tixier, 1988). Often included in the Sematophyllaceae by some authors.
