PODOCARPUS JAVANICUS (Burm. f.) comb. nov.

This is clearly a form of the species commonly known as Podo- 
carpus imbricatus Blume, as indicated by the description of 
the upper leaves on the branchlets as lanceolate and again as 
plane and ovate-lanceolate. The figure presents a branch with 
branchlets covered with the small, imbricate, greatly reduced 
leaves, the tips of the branchlets presenting the transition stage 
to the much larger, differently shaped, distichous ones. Bur- 
man’s name, being much the older, should be adopted for this 
well-known and widely distributed Malayan species.
