3. Lasianthus caudiculatus Ridl. (1915) View in CoL 48; (1923a) 167. —

Type: Robinson s.n. ( holo K), Peninsular Malaysia, Perak, 4500 ft.

Note — According to Ridley’s description L. caudiculatus has yellow appressed hairs on branches, leaf nerves beneath; leaves lanceolate with long caudate apex and cuneate base, 8 –9 by 2.5 cm; nerves 5 pairs; stipules triangular, silky; cymes sessile; calyx covered by silky yellow hairs. We have not seen any specimen from Peninsular Malaysia that matches Ridley’s description. Wong (1989) reduced it to a synonym of L. montanus . However, L. montanus is quite ambiguous because no other confirming specimens are available except the imperfect type specimen in SING. The few specimens indicated as L. montanus actually belong to Urophyllum hirsutum Wight.
