<strong>Beilschmiedia</strong> alloiophylla has alternate leaves and fine ratnification. This <strong>species</strong> is<br />

distinguished from the other <strong>species</strong> with alterr1ate leaves and fine ramification by a<br />

combination <strong>of</strong> the following characters; erect pubescence on the terminal buds and twigs,<br />

large obovate leaves, glabrous anthers and ellipsoid fruits.<br />

<strong>Beilschmiedia</strong> alloiophylla is a complex <strong>species</strong> with variable character states in<br />

indument. The collections, which I have recognized as this <strong>species</strong>, might be separated into<br />

five groups as follows by the indun1ent structure and the an1ount <strong>of</strong> pubescence.<br />
