from !/, to 1},, in. long. Inflorescence axillary, panicles elongated, pri- 
mary peduncles about 1 in. long, secondary 9 lines, irregularly angled. 
bearing umbels of from 2 to 6 flowers, often somewhat crowded at the 
end of the branchlets. Flowers when fully expanded about 1 in. diam. 
Operculum thin, hemispherical, or with a very minute point. Stamens 
about 4 lines long, inflected in the bud, all fertile, in 3 irregular rows. 
Anthers globose, bursting at the top. Style slightly exserted, stigma 
peltate, scarcely larger than the style. Fruit oval-globose, including the 
pedicellate lower half about 8 lines long, diameter about 4 lines at the 
top, the outside upper portion smoothish, the lower pedicel-like portion 
angular; rims thin-capsule deeply sunk, the top dome-shaped; cells 4 
or 5. Seed dark-brown, bluntly triangular to thick cuneate and fur- 
rowed, about 1 line long. — Queensland: About Stannary Hills, 
Dr. Thos. L. Bancroft, Sept., 1909. The leaves were infested with 
Phyllachora rugulosa Cooke. No special use is at present, the collector 
informs me, made of timber. 
16. Sarcochilus Longmanii Bailey, l. c, p. 261. — Stem about 1 in. 
long, the lower half bearing roots, the upper leaves. Roots white; 
attached to the stems and branches of other plants. Leaves linear api- 
culate, 5 on the plant received, falcate, light-green, 2 to 3 in. long. 
about 4 or 5 lines broad, midrib and numerous parallel veins, prominent, 
racemes longer than the leaves, slender, bearing about 10 pale-yellowish 
or cream-coloured flowers, the segments curving inward, thus almost 
cup-shaped. Bracts subtending; flowers ovate-lanceolate, about half as 
long as the pedicels. Pedicels 21/, lines long. Sepals and petals ovate. 
the latter being rather broader than the former; about 3 lines long. 
slightly stained near the base a yellowish-green. Labellum with some- 
times a few reddish marks, the lateral lobes about as long as the petals, 
middle lobe more or less tomentose; disk calli erect. Column short. 
Pollen-masses a deep yellow. — Queensland: Main Range, near Too- 
woomba, H. A. Longman, Sept., 1909. 
17. Eugenia Simmondsiae Bailey, 1. c., p. 297. — A tree of medium 
size. Branchlets crimson red, slender, quadriangur almost winged. 
Leaves ovate to ovate-oblong, 1 to 15/, in. long, the petiole about 3 lines 
long, apex more or less pointed, narrowed towards the base; midrib 
prominent, lateral nerves numerous, about 20 on each side of the midrib, 
thin, parallel, and prominent in the dried leaf, oildots thinly scattered 
and rather large, no flowers seen. Fruits solitary or in pairs and some- 
times 3 in a short raceme, terminal or in the upper axils; globose, red. 
about 1 in. diam, crowned by the short 4-lobes of the calyx; seeds 
numerous. — Queensland: Tambourine Mountain, Mrs. J. H. Sim- 
monds. The species seems a near ally of E. paniculata Banks and Sol, 
the E. myrtifolia Sims, differing in inflorescence and fruit, and when the 
flowers are known they may show a further distinction.
