164 Flora of the Malayan Peninsula. 
31. LitszEa montTiIcoLA, Gamble in Kew Bull. 361 (1910). A 
tree reaching 12—15 m. in height and 45—60 cm. in diam. of stem ; 
branchlets stout with pale brown bark, sub-quadrangular, scurfy 
and nearly glabrous, the small terminal buds only minutely pubes- 
cent. Leaves coriaceous, alternate; elliptic or elliptic-oblong or 
-obovate, acute or acuminate and slightly mucronate at apex, 
attenuate at base; both surfaces glabrous, olive-brown when dry 
and somewhat reddish beneath ; margins recurved ; 10—20 cm. long 
4—6 cm. broad; midrib prominent, impressed above ; main nerves 
8—12 pairs, subparallel, the lowest pair marginal, impressed above, 
raised beneath, at about 50° with the midrib, curving gently to the 
margin and a little parallel to it; transverse nervules straight, 
subparallel, obscure as is the areolate reticulation; petiole stout, 
black when dry, glabrous, channelled above, 15 mm. long. Flowers 
in umbellules on rather stout, 6—8 mm. long, glabrous peduncles, 
in thick angled puberulous up to 20 mm. long 8—10-flowered 
axillary or lateral racemes; involucral bracts 4, orbicular, glabrous 
except the ciliate margins of the 2 inner, 4—5 mm. in diam.; 
flowers in each umbellule 5, densely golden-tawny-villous; perianth- 
lobes 6, ovate-acute or -acuminate, densely villous without, glabrous 
within, gland-dotted. Stamens of ¢@ flowers variable in number 
and arrangement, 8—13, but normally 9; those of outer rows 3mm. 
long with oblong anthers and filaments densely villous with long 
hairs, those of inner rows shorter and with a pair of large ovate 
subsessile glands near the base of the filaments; lower anther-cells 
lateral; rudimentary ovary 0. Staminodes of 2 flowers and fruit 
not seen. 
PERAK: on the top of Gunong Ejon at 1200—1400 m. alt., and 
near Thaiping 1000—1200 m., King’s Collector 7000!, 8454! 
This species comes rather near to L. Foxiana, but the leaves are not so 
long acuminate nor glaucous beneath nor pubescext, the racemes are short, 
the umbellules are glabrous instead of grey-pubescent, the flowers inside the 
involucral bracts are densely tawny villous, instead of being merely sparsely 
so, and the main nerves are more distant. 
32. Litsza ScortEecHrIni1, Gamble in Kew Bull. 362 (1910). A. 
tree ?; branchlets chestnut-brown, ferruginous-puberulous, somewhat 
angled; buds lanceolate, golden-pubescent, as in the inflorescence. 
Leaves chartaceous, alternate; lanceolate or elliptic-lanceolate, long- 
and sharply acuminate at apex, long-attenuate at base; upper 
surface glabrous except on the nerves, minutely reticulate; lower
