PLANTS FROM NEW CALKDONIA, 



Genioptoma DKNSiFLOiiUM Baill, HiverNgoyo; among rocks in creek; 

 300 ft.; serpentine, 2088. Shrub 10 ft. Brandies erect, ratlier fustiglatG. 

 Corolla greenish white, limb spreading, unpleasant scent. 



Near this are Scblechtor's nos. 14748, 14828, 15084, 15405 referred to 

 G.fadens BailL But the typo of this [Balansa 21G9), as represented in the 

 British Museum, is a very diflerent plant. 



Like most of Baillon^s descriptions of New Caledonian plants tliat given 

 of G. (Ie}}siJ!orum is unsatisfactory in several respects. The identification 

 here made is therefore to be regarded as provisional.

Under the name of G. Panehen^ Baillon gives an imporfecfc description of 

 a species witli leaves in shape aiul size evidently much like those of the plant 

 just described, but membranaceous in consistence and with a line velvety 

 iudunnMitum below. Moreover, the cymes of 6r. Fanchen are described as 

 several-flowered and the corollas would appear to have a longer tube than 

 have tliQsc of G^ oleifolium.
