Fleischer (* Masci Jer Flora von Buitcnzorg/ ii. 037) makes aS. lo u (J) foil u !< , 

 Liiulh., a subspecies of *S. Rehucardtii, and Hcrzog (Iledwi-. xlix. IID)- 

 conchides that it is not to be separated at all, spccifieally. From an 

 examination of numerous specimens of the Now Guinea plant, I am of 

 opinion that Hcrzog's conclusion is the correct one. S. louylfolius will 

 therefore become a synonj'm of this species.

Camp VI t, 4475 ft. (No. 17). I have not seen authentic specimens, but, 

 from the size and branching, the slightly glossy leaves, and distinct alar 

 cells, T think it no doubt belongs here. 



The characters given, however, scarcely seen-, to justify its separation- 

 from the variable and widely distributed F.JlorUninda.

This extremely interesting genus, both on account of its freqnently striking- 

 structural characters and its limited geographical distribution, has one at 

 least of its centres of dispersion in New Guinea. Of 37 species listed by 

 Brotherus, 8 are found in New Guinea, 5 of these being endemic. To these 

 must be added C. recurvifoliiim, Fleisclu, and C. lioemert, Fleiscli., together 

 with the two new species described below, adding 4 more to the endemic 

 species on this island.
