/'. latifoUa forma teniatcnsis De Boer 1. c. 14; forma luxurians. 
Usually small trecs^ much branched^ 5-15 ni tall,, trunk erect, crown 
broad spreading; branches terete, spreading, fuscous, the ultimate, op- 
posite, greenish; buds coriaceous, acuminate. Leaves subopposite, thickly 
coriaceous^ elliptic or elliptic-lanceolate, apex sharply turned rarely long 
acuminate, obtuse or rarely acute, base thick abruptly or gradually 
narrowed into the petiole, in drying striatulate, 9-13 cm long and to 4 
cm broad, rarely to 15-16 cm long and to 5 cm broad. Flowers dioecious; 
male 3-7 aggregated fasciculately in pedunculate axillary very short 
cylindraceons clusters, to 1.5 cm long; anthers with short apiculus, 
broadish, sharply acute.- Female flowers opposite, axillary, forming 
short branches; peduncles 6 mm long; receptacle elongate cylindraceons, 
fleshy, bearing short, free, acute, persistent, squamiform leaf-blades; seed 
globose dark green, testa double, exterior tenuous-coriaceous ; interior 
osseous, fragile. 
Leaves usually much resembling those of Agathis alba; but with more 
acute apex. Trees much smaller than A, aiha, usually not exceeding 
10 or 15 m in height and 1 dm diam. A tree of the lower mountain 
ridges. Ver}' local in distribution.

is from young sterile shoots and looks surprisingly like young Agathis material; 
but, I have placed it here because all the leaves taper to an acute tip. 
Distribution: Monsoon region: Java, in tlie mountains of the western part of 
the island; Moluccas, Ternate; Celebes; Xew Guinea; Philippines.

^lAe flowers arranged in terminal spikes which are single or several 
in the axils of bracts, or single or several in the axils of leaves, rarely 
several, fasciculate at tlie apex of a podimcle. Fenuile flowers spicate 
forming woody branches or on twigs wliich are leafv at the l)ase; ovules 
several, scnttorcfl, or ovules 1 or 2 at the apex of twigs which are leafy,
