Var. TYPICUS B. f. hirsutus is found at Kamburangau on a small open pan 
of shallow sand, which carries an association of Patersonia and sedges, about 
l m. high. This growth draws up the aerial shoots of the Didiscus to

speeimen from 10,000' (forma minor Domin). 
Var. TYPICUS a. f. glaber is quite glabrous with the exception of a few 
hairs at the base of the petiole, and tufted and much smaller, but the leaves
