Actinodaphne apoensis (Elmer) Kosterm. ex Brambach & Pelser View in CoL , comb. nov.
Neolitsea apoensis Elmer, Leafl. Philipp. Bot. 2 (1910) 727. — Lectotype (designated here): Elmer 11255 (lecto NY00355544 ; isolecto BISH, BM, E, GH, HBG,K, L, MO, P, PNH lost, U, US), Philippines, Mindanao, Davao District, Todaya, Mt Apo , Aug. 1909.
Distribution — Philippines (Biliran, Leyte, Mindanao).
Note — Neolitsea apoensis Elmer has pinnately veined leaves and a verticillate phyllotaxy. This suggests that this species is best placed in Actinodaphne and the type specimens have indeed been annotated by Kostermans as ‘ Actinodaphne ’ or ‘ Actinodaphne apoensis ’. The type specimens lack inflorescences (they do have detached fruits) and it is therefore not possible to observe characters of the involucral bracts and flowers to be entirely certain about the correct generic placement.
