J\ hiylandulosa F. Miioll., from Xorfolk Islaud, known to me only by 

 description and figure^Is a glabrous plant with larger leaves and considerably 

 larger flowers. T. tapeinogijne Schlechter (Xew Caledonia) in its typical 

 form is described as having puberulous sterns^ leaves and inflorescences, but 

 its corollas liave oblong lobes, the coronal leaves are oblong and the anther 

 appendages overtop the depressed stigma. The three species are no doubt 

 closely connected.
