ABSTRACT: A new species of Drypetes, D. kwangtungensis, from the  Guangdong   Province  in  China  is described and illustrated. It is morphologically very similar to D. obtusa, from which it differs by having elliptic leaves with an acute apex that is sometimes retuse. In addition, the fruits of D. kwangtungensis are obovoid and almost twice as large as those of D. obtusa.
