摘要：

Recent interpretations of various floral and faunal components on Hainan Island and the nearby parts of mainland east Asia invoke a mid-Cenozoic plate-tectonic rifting episode that displaced the landmass ca 220 km south-eastwards from a postulated former site directly adjacent to the China-Vietnam border. However, having sifted through the relevant geological evidence I contend that this idea is weakly founded. In explaining challenging biogeographical patterns, it is suggested that all of the geo-physical processes that could have forged the distributions need to be considered.
