At 7000 feet (Haviland, 1239). 
Closely allied to Lucinea pentacme and to L. montana, but differing from both in the 
larger leaves, from the former also in the very distinct venation, and from the latter in 
the loose papyraceous bark, the shorter peduncles, and the larger flowers.

angulata, minute granulata, placenta medi: axi affixà. 
At 3000 feet (Haviland, 1332). 
Tt seems to be nearest allied to an undescribed species from the Admiralty Islands 
(‘Challenger ’ Exp.), which I am inclined to refer to this genus, and to another species 
from the Mishmi Hills (Griffith, 2850), also undescribed. The latter has, however, much 
looser inflorescences and narrower calyx-lobes, and approaches more JM. nutans, Wall., 
whilst the former differs in the venation of the leaves and is particularly distinguished 
by the laciniate bracts.
