Male flowers single or several, axillary, sessile, or several fasciculate 
at the apex of a peduncle, or disposed in an inflorescence ; anthers usually 
densely imbricate, apiculus rarely wanting, usually zh developed. Fe- 
rnale flowers single, axillary, subsessile or usually long-pedunculate; 
receptacle fleshy, always distinctly developed, often with 2 narrow bracts 
at the base; ovules 1 or 2. Seeds ovoid or globose, often with the apox 
obtusely procluced; testa with its inner coat slightly thickened, never 
thickly woody. Leaves scattered, linear or lanceolate, often quite elon- 
gate. 
5. Podocarpus brevifolius (Stapf) Foxworthy comb. nov. 
P. neriifolius Don var. hrevifolia Stapf in Trans. Linn. JSoc. Bot. II 4 (1804) 
249; Pilger 1. c. 93. Plate XXIX, fig. 2. 
Small trees of the upper part of the mossy forest. Leaves densely 
crowded on the twigs, 1.2-3.5 cm long, 4-7 mm wide, elliptic with 
slightly thickened margins, acute at apex, base gradually narrowed, 
midrib distinct above and below. 
Collected by Low and by Haviland at altitudes of from 3,330 to 3,G30 m above 
sea level on Mt. Kinabahi in British North Borneo. Dr. Stapf thought it possibly 
an alpine form of P. polysfachyus R. Br. Pilger, 1. c. 93, thought it probably a 
distinct species. Dr. Stapf has kindly sent me fragments of the Kinabalu 
material and I am convinced that it is a distinct species of § Eupodocarptts and 
closely related to /*. pilgeri. 
This species has been collected twice in the island of Luzon. Both collections 
wore made in December 1907 on Mt. Tapulao, Zambales. For. Bur. 9511, col- 
lected by Curran and ^Merritt, seems to match the type pretty closely. Bur. Sci. 
5002, collected by Ramos, differs in having slightly long^^r leaves. Both collec- 
tions were from an elevation of about 1,S00 m above sea level.
