Note — This taxon was treated as L. tomentosus ( King & Gamble 1904, Ridley 1923a, Craib 1934) which may be due to two misidentified sheets in K. These two specimens, which are labelled as Horsfield s.n. [Rub. 50] from Java, are indicated as L. tomentosus with Miquel’s handwriting and also were cited in literature ( Miquel 1857). Miquel (1869) later changed his mind and considered that they were not the same as L. tomentosus . The taxon which was mistaken as L. tomentosus , has conspicuous strigose linear-lanceolate stipules, 4-merous flowers, hirsute and verrucose drupes with 4 pyrenes and is closer related to L. trichophlebus than to L. tomentosus . The taxon differs from L. trichophlebus by having only dense hirsute hairs on the branches and pubescent hairs on the leaf lower surface. It is better to treat the taxon as a variety of L. trichophlebus . A Javanese taxon L. sylvestris var. latifolius is recognized to be conspecific with this taxon. There- fore the combination for the taxon is made as L. trichophlebus var. latifolius .
