Department. In the Chitta-ong Hill Tracts it is not uncommon. There are no specimens
of this i» the Herbaria at Leiden or Utrecht, and Miquel probably nover saw a specimen
of it. But in Mus. Lugd. Bat. iii. 289 he reduces it, on the authority o Kur.
to F. dmrsifolia, which does not in the least resemble the Wallichian type sheet of
this No doubt the error arose from some misplacement of tickets.
This species is closely allied to F. glandulifcra, Wall. Cat. 4481, which is the same
ns F uuranliaca, Miq.; F. Martahanica, Wall. Cat. 4551, is also only a narrow-leaved form ot
this. The species F. lamponga was foanded by Miquel on a fnütles. twig of this in the
Herbarium at Utrecht. Kurz {For. Flora Bnt. Burmah ii. 451) assumes that Wdbch s
.pecies F chartaeea {Cat. 4580) is the same as F. lamponga, Miq., and ho reduces F. chartacea,
W l . , as a variety of lamponga, Miq. But the reduction is quite wrong, for the leaves
of Miquel's fragmentary type of lamponga have about 10 pairs of primary lateral nerves,
and they, as well as the midrib, are adpressed-pilose below; whereas in chartacea, Wall., tlie
primary nerves are but 4 pairs and, like the midi-ib, glabrous below. _ _ _
