Male flowers single or several, axillary, sessile, or several fasciculate 
at the apex of a peduncle, or disposed in an inflorescence ; anthers usually 
densely imbricate, apiculus rarely wanting, usually ± developed. Fe- 
male flowers single, axillary, subsessile or usually long-pedunculate ; 
receptacle fleshy, always distinctly developed, often with 2 narrow bracts 
at the base ; ovules 1 or 2. Seeds ovoid or globose, often with the apex 
obtusely produced; testa with its inner coat slightly thickened, never 
thickly woody. Leaves scattered, linear or lanceolate, often quite elon-

5. Podocarpus brevifolius (Stapf) Foxworthy comb. nov. 
P. neriifolius Don var. brevifolia Stapf in Trans. Linn. Soc. Bot. II 4 (1894) 
249; Pilger 1. c. 93. Plate XXIX, fig. 2. 
Small trees of the upper part of the mossy forest. Leaves densely 
crowded on the twigs, 1.2-3. 5 cm long, 4-7 mm wide,- elliptic with 
slightly thickened margins, , acute at apex, base gradually narrowed, 
midrib distinct above and below. 
Collected by Low and by Haviland at altitudes of from 3,330 to 3,630 m above 
sea level on Mt. Kinabalu in British North Borneo. Dr. Stapf thought it possibly 
an alpine form of P. polystachyus It. Br. Pilger, 1. c. 93, thought it probably a 
distinct species. Dr. Stapf has kindly sent me fragments of the Kinabalu 
material and I am convinced that it is a distinct species of § Eupodocarpus and 
closely related to P. pilgeri. 
This species ' has been collected twice in 'the island of Luzon. Both collections 
were made in December 1907 on Mt. Tapulao, Zambales. For. Bur. 9511, col- 
lected by Curran and Merritt, seems to match the type pretty closely. Bur. Sci. 
5002, collected by Ramos, differs in having slightly longer leaves. Both collec- 
tions were from an elevation of about 1,800 m above sea level.

Small trees in the mossy forest of . mountain tops. Branches few 
or opposite, short, spreading, quite densely foliate; bud-scales ovate- 
lanceolate, acute or the outer ones long-acuminate; Leaves spreading, 
coriaceous, nitidulous, narrowly to broadly elliptic, apex abruptly rounded, 
obtuse or very shortly obtuse-mucronulate, abruptly narrowed below into 
the petiole, 3.'5-5.5 cm long, 10-12 mm broad, midrib narrowly obtusely 
prominent above, broad and prominent below. ■ Staminate flowers un-
