Pedieellus fructiferus usque ad 4 cm longus; ramulis glabris. Meissner's variety glabra was based on a specimen, collected by Sir J.S. Smith. The provenance is obscure, Nepal with an interrogation mark is written on the sheet at Kew. Hooker thought, that this specimen was glabrous because of its older stage and thought, that the specimen was collected in Khasia. The type specimen shows shoots with a young stage of leaf develop- ment and subsequently collected material, proves, that the plant is indeed practically glabrous. Moreover, the leaves are not reticulate, but scrobi- culate with a finer mesh thai) those of A. reticulata. Hooker was right, that the specimen of J.S. Smith was from E. Bengal. ASSAM.

In the description of Sims of this plant, it is mentioned, that it was sent to England from Macao, China by Reeves in 1821 on a vessel, named the Orwell, under Captain Lindsay (Sweet, Hort. Brit. 344. 1827 gives the date of introduction 1812, apparently a misprint). No original material could be discovered so far, although a rather recent collection of the Kew Gardens, is still labelled Laurus aggregata. The plate is sufficiently detailed to make sure, that this is the shrub, commonly called Lindera stryekmfolia. Loudon (Encyclop. 332, fig. 1855) gives a crude copy of this plate. The species is very close to Lindera sinensis (Bl.) Kosterm. of the same provenance and also introduced by Reeves, the differences being only in the size of the leaves and the glabrousness of L. sinensis. 1974] KOSTERMANS: Re of Lauraeeae IV The type material of Cinnamomum verlotii de Lukmanoff is conserved in Paris and labelled: cultivee au Musee sous le nom de Lawrus gbiueo- pkylla, no. 90; it is a sterile specimen. Lindera eberhardtii Lecomte {in Nouv. Arch. Mus., Ser. V, 5: 115. 1913) may belong here or it may be L. sinensis. The young shoots of the material of L. eberhardtii are long-silky (not stated by Lecomte). Lindera caesia, as accepted by Allen, is certainly L. sinensis. In Paris a collection of Callery (no. 61) is from the type locality (Macao). Lindera delkata Kosterm., spec. nov.

The label mentions K (Keishe) as collector and this label mentions the three local names ("Wuhon bana, Dan kou bai and Kouzin bana") cited by Blume. The sterile specimens belong all to the typical, almost glabrous form. The variety villosa of Blume is based on a Siebold apecimen at Leiden, marked "Sirumozi". It is more a forma rather than a variety, young plants are always densely sericeous. Miquel mentioned in his Catalogue Mus. bot. Lugd. bat. I: 81. 1871 two more varieties: hirsuta and pubescens; these names were copied from herbarium labels of var. pilosa El., they were published as nomina nuda. Lindera pilosa Kosterm., spec. nov.

Florets densely, minutely pilose, tepals 1.5—2 mm long; pedicel slender, ca 3 mm long. The species is characterized by the dense rusty tomentum of the lower leaf surface. In some specimens (For.
