52. Ervatamia (Tabernaemontana) pubescens (R. Br.) var. superba Domin, 

 nov. var. 



Verosimiliter arborescens; folia iis var. typicae similia sed multo 

 tenuiora et tan turn parce pubescentia; pedunculus communis 3 — 5 cm 

 longus; cymae divisae semper multiflorae sat densae, cymarum rami uti 

 pedicelli plus minusve hirsuti; calyces pubescentes; corollae tubus 

 15 mm vel paulo plus longus; limbi segmenta lata obovato-oblonga ob- 

 tusissima tubo pauia breviora, circiter 15 mm longa et 5 — 6 mm lata.

 November 17 th - 1849, flowering (Voyage of Rattlesnake, Botany no. 496). 



53. Ervatamia (Tabernaemontana) Daemeliana Domin, nov. spec. 

 Prutex vel potius arbor glaberrima; rami cylindrici lenticellis al- 



bidis anguste ellipticis instructi jam prima juventute glabri. Folia in 

 ramulis aequaliter distantia obovato-oblonga basi cune ato-attenuata et in 

 petiolum perbrevem abeuntia apice obtuse acuminata circiter 10—15 cm 

 longa et 3—5 cm lata discolora (i. e. in pagina inferiore pallida) sub- 

 coriacea glaberrima margine breviter revoluta, nervis reticulatis utrinque 

 sed praesertim subtus conspicuis. Pedunculus communis glaber elon- 

 gatus circiter 7 cm longus axillaris furcato-divisus et in ramo utroque 

 cymam circa 8-floram laxam gerens. Calyx ei E. pubescentis simillimus 

 sed glaberrimus, lobis triangularibus brevibus subacutis. Corollae tubus 

 tenuis circa 15 mm longus. limbus tubo circa dimidio brevior. Carpella 

 matura ovoideo-t'alcata circa P/4 cm longa. 



Eastern Queensland: Cape York, leg. E. Daemel. • 

 To the same species belongs very likely a plant (in fruit only) 

 gathered by Pitzalan near Port Denison. 



Bent ham regards our new species only as a glabrous form of 

 Tabernaemontana pubescens; but there can be no doubt that it is closely 

 allied to Ervatamia orientalis (R. Br. sub labernaemontana, s. str. !), differ- 

 ing chiefly in the much longer corolla-tube and the more coriaceous 

 leaves. 



54. Ervatamia (Tabernaemontana) Benthamiana Domin, nov. spec. 

 Prutex glaberrimus, ramis cylindricis lenticellis late ellipticis in- 



structis. Folia in ramulis patentia glaberrima chartaceo-subrigidiuscula 

 angusta oblongo-lanceolata in petiolum cylindricum gracilem brevem sed 

 conspicuum longe attenuata, apice brevius sensim acuminata, recta vel 

 parum falcata subtus pallidiora, circiter 6—11 cm longa sed tantum 1 — 

 2 l /i cm lata, reticulatione obscura sed costa media praesertim in pagina 

 inferiore valde prominula albida. Pedunculi communes breves vel bre- 

 vissimi. Cymae sat densae breves haud multiflorae. Calycis lobi 

 glaberrimi lanceolati manifeste acuminati; corolla ei E. orientalis similis
