Liou thought that both Litsea midtiumbellata Lecomte and L. brcvi- 

 petiolata Lecomte might prove to be but forms of Hance's species. He 

 further notes the close resemblance of ail three to Actinodaphne 

 glomerata Nées. Dr. Allen placed L. multiunibellata Lecomte as a 

 synonym of Litsea verticillata Hance and L. brevipetiolata Lecomte as 

 a variety of the same species. I judge that with almost equal propriety 

 one might place the species in either Litsea or in Actinodaphne.
