This <strong>species</strong> is distinguished from the other <strong>species</strong> with alterr1ate leaves and fine ramification by a combination <strong>of</strong> the following characters; erect pubescence on the terminal buds and twigs, large obovate leaves, glabrous anthers and ellipsoid fruits. <strong>Beilschmiedia</strong> alloiophylla is a complex <strong>species</strong> with variable character states in indument. The collections, which I have recognized as this <strong>species</strong>, might be separated into five groups as follows by the indun1ent structure and the an1ount <strong>of</strong> pubescence. 21
