This species is distinguished from LZ. ochracea chiefly by the oblanceolate 
leaves, very much shorter racemes and sessile umbellules; but they are very 
close to each other. 
35. Litszea KunstLeRiI, Gamble in Kew Bull. 363 (1910). An 
evergreen tree reaching 18 m. in height and about 50 cm. in diam. of 
stem; branchlets stout, angular from raised lines decurrent from the 
leaves, dark grey or glaucous, glabrous; buds lanceolate. Leaves 
chartaceous, alternate; oblong or oblong-lanceolate, rounded or 
emarginate at apex, attenuate and somewhat rounded at base; 
when fresh dark green above, bluish-green beneath, when dry olive- 
brown above, sub-glaucous beneath, both surfaces glabrous, areolate- 
reticulate; 15—30 cm. long, 6—12 cm. broad; midrib rather slender, 
slightly channelled above, raised beneath; main nerves 12—14 pairs, 
slender, rather irregular, starting at from 50°—690° with the*midrib 
and curved upwards to near the margin and along it, fading off in 
small loops, slightly impressed above; transverse nervules irregular, 
branched, enclosing the areolate reticulation; petiole stout, glabrous, 
channelled above, 1—2 cm. long. Flowers in grey-puberulous umbel- 
lules on slender 8 mm. long peduncles, fascicled in very short thick 
axillary or lateral racemes up to 10 mm. long and about 10 together ; 
raceme bracts ovate, caducous; umbellules (3) when open about 
12 mm. broad; involucral bracts 4—6, usually 6, the outer orbicular, 
the inner obovate, glabrous within; flowers in each umbellule 7; 
pedicels 2 mm. long; perianth-tube funnel-shaped, lobes 6, variable, 
usually oblong or obovate, 3—4 mm. long, glabrous within, pubes- 
cent without, gland-dotted. Stamens of 3 flowers 12, those of the 
outer rows eglandular, up to 4 mm. long with ovate anthers and 
slender slightly villous filaments, those of the inner rows shorter and 
with a pair of rather large reniform shortly stipitate glands near the 
base, lower anther-cells all lateral; rudimentary ovary very small 
with slender style. Staminodes of 2 flowers and fruit not known.

branchlets slender, pale brown, glabrous except the uppermost shoots,
