status

 

6. Lasianthus harveyanus King & Gamble var. longifolia King & Gamble (1904) 129; Ridl. (1923a) 161. —

Type: Harvey s.n. (n.v.), Peninsular Malaysia .

Notes — From King & Gamble’s description, this variety has relatively large oblong-elliptic leaves with acuminate apex and 8 – 9 pairs of nerves up to 7.5 in. long.

Wong (1988) mentioned that only type collections of L. harveyanus and var. longifolia were known and informed us that they should be in SING. However, we did not see them in SING. No specimen checked by us match King & Gamble’s descriptions well. Therefore we treat both this species and its variety as dubious.
