Abstract
Rhodoleia has long been believed to be the only member of theHamamelidales lacking stipules, and its systematic position has been doubtful. The present investigation shows, in contrast, thatRhodoleia championi Hook. f. produces conspicuous stipules which are, however, restricted to a few leaves of the transition region between bud scales and foliage leaves. In the foliage leaves stipules are apparently reduced, except sometimes in the outermost leaf. The presence of stipules and other correspondences clearly shows thatRhodoleia belongs to theHamamelidaceae.
