摘要
Tetranthera khasyana Meisn. and Cylicodaphne hookeri Meisn. (excl. var. siamensis Meisn.) are the same species, with differences in the shape of berry and in the peduncles of the fruit and the umbel. Hooker (1886) treated the former plant as.Litsea khasyana (Meisn,) Hook, f. and the latter as L. khasyana (Meisn.) Hook. f. var. hookeri. But another plant Litsea khasyana Meisn. already existed. Hence, Long (1984) adopted the name Litsea hookeri (Meisn.) Long for Cylicodaphne hookeri Meisn. Here, Tetranthera khasyana Meisn. is described as a new combination of Litsea hookeri (Meisn.) Long var. khasyana (Meisn.) T. Bhuinya & P. Singh. The plant is quite common in subtropical forests of Khasi Hills in Meghalaya, and Eastern Himalaya in Sikkim and West Bengal at 400 m to 900 m.
