the claws of the petals were found little shorter than in the above, and 
the calyx perhaps slightly more villous, otherwise there was no estimable 
difference.

Feb. 39064. 
A shrub or small tree of Aralia-like habit, the large leaves being aggre- 
gated towards the ends of the branches, The largest leaf on the specimen is 
4 dm. long and 1*5 dm. broad near the apex, where it is suddenly contracted 
into a cuspidate point, more or less 1 em. long; the lamina narrows gradually 
into the petiole, until only 1:3 em. broad at the obcordate, almost auriculate 
base; the petiole is +0°5 mm. in length, and the leaves may be almost 
described as subsessile. The inflorescence is 2 dm. long, branching sparsely; 
with the white flowers arranged in half-whorls at intervals on the secondary 
rhachis. The pedicels are 3 mm. in length ; the lobes of the calyx are 1 mm. 
long and longitudinally veined, as are also the petals, which are 5 mm. long 
and 2 mm. broad. In the £ flower the stamens are 3 mm. in length, slightly 
fleshy, with a very minute rudimentary ovary ; in the 9 flower the stamens 
are the same length as the ovary, which is +2°5 mm. high arid 3 mm. broad, 
the styles and stigma being 1 mm. long and rather laterally inserted. 
This plant is nearest to S. magnifica, K. Schum., which it resembles in the 
shape and size of the leaves, but it differs in the glabrous habit, the few 
flowered glomerules, and the lax inflorescence. The leaves show glaucous 
undersides with the veins less numerous and more arcuate. 
This species has been named jin honour of Mr. H. W. L. Bunbury, 
District Officer, to whom I was indebted for much thoughtful kindness 
during my stay in N. Keppel.
