Notes

Records from Malaya, under Quercus, may belong to L. macphailii, and those from Java to L. kostermansii.
In SAN 16199, 16448, and 41760 from 1200-1650 m, the leaves and cupules are larger than those from the lowland forest. Several intermediates exist, however, so that they may be regarded as montane form of the species.
