12. Orania Beccarii Bailey, l. c., p. 35. — Areca appendiculata Bail. 
in Bot. Bull., IV. — Dr. O. Beccari, the greatest living authority on palms, 
writes me that this is a distinct species of Orania; hence this change 
of genus. The specific name is changed because it might no longer be 
found applicable, in which case I hope botanists will allow me this 
privilege. The first description stands. 
13. Hypolepis papuana Bailey, l. c., p. 158. — This is a rampant 
aculeate species, according to the Rev. Copland King, attaining the height 
of 14 ft., probably quadripinnate. The branches and branchlets of a 
more or less glossy-brown, and for the most part bearing prickles and 
Short glandular hairs. The ultimate pinnae 2 to 3 in. long, bearing 
oblong pinnules about 1 in. long, shortly stalked or sessile, deeply lobed, 
the lobes bluntly ovate, bearing just above the sinus on the upper side 
of most a very membranous sorus. — British New Guinea: Yodda 
Road and Eia River, Rev. Copland King. — Boku, Mrs. H. P. Schlencker 
no. 46. 
14. Gardenia papuana Bailey, l. c., p. 218. — (This name must only 
be considered provisionary, no specimens or descriptions of some Papuan 
Gardenias being available for comparison.) Papuan name: ,llu.^ Leaves 
very glossy, broadly oblong or ovate, shortly acuminate or obtuse to 
ovate-lanceolate, 5 to 7 in. long, 3 to Ais in. broad, more or less taper- 
ing at the base; midrib and lateral nerves very prominent, transverse 
reticulation regular but delicately fine. Petiole about 1 in. long, the 
upper sides winged by the decurrent lamina. No flowers seen. Pe- 
duncle solitary, stout, extra-axillary, angular, about ! in. long. Fruit 
ovoid, 13/, in. long, 1!/, in. diam. Epicarp, ribbed; endocarp, thin; pla- 
centas, 5. Seeds flat ovate, about 1!/, line long, reddish, minutely tuber- 
culose, glossy. The persistent portion of calyx crowning the fruit is 
very prominent; tube furnished with horizontal erecto-patent wings 
about 9 lines long, and 3 lines broad near the base, much tapering 
towards the apex. — British New Guinea: Boku, Mrs. H. P. Schlencker. 
15. Eucalyptus Stoneana Bailey, l. c., p. 259. Plates XXXI and 
XXXII. — Bastard Gum-leafed Box of the locality. A large tree with a 
rather close, hard, persistent greyish bark, about !/, in. thickness. Wood, 
outer yellow, inner red. Branchlets angular, slender, and probably more 
or less glaucous when fresh. Leaves alternate, thin-coriaceous, 6 to 
10!/, in. long, from 7 lines to 8 in. wide, broadest and roundly-cuneate 
at the base, the apex blunt or acuminate; margins more or less repand, 
midrib alone prominent, principal parallel transverse nerves distant, bat 
faint like the reticulate veins, the intramarginal nerve always close to 
the edge of leaf. Oil-dots very numerous and minute. Petioles slender,
