Lasianthus microphyllus Elmer,Leafl.Philipp.Bot. 5 (1913) 1870;Merr.(1923) 566. — Typus: Elmer 13790 (iso A, CAS, E, K, L, MO, U, US), Philippines, Mindanao, Mt Urdaneta, 6500 ft, mossy forest.
Shrubs, branchlets subglabrous to glabrous. Leaves relatively small, ovate, apex caudate. Calyx glabrous. Drupes globose, crowned by minute calyx teeth.
Distribution — The Philippines.
Note — Lasianthus microphyllus is very closely related to L. fordii . It differs from L. fordii only by having usually much small ovate leaves with a caudate apex which is too weak to recognize it as a separate species. We here sink it to a variety of L. fordii .
