North-Eastern Queensland: Mount Bartle Prere, P. M. Bailey. 



P. M. Bailey, C. M. G., P. L. S., the Government- Botanist of Queens- 

 land, after whom 1 named this very interesting plant growing on the 

 highest mountains in tropical Australia, identified it with Monotoca lineata 

 of Rob. Brown, but the latter is doubtless a sufficiently distinct species. 

 Our species may be easily distinguished from M. lineata, which it re- 

 sembles only in the general appearance, by its rigid, more coriaceous, 

 broader and underneath very distinctly whitish leaves, its larger calyx 

 and fruits, which are always 5-locular. As the flowers are at present 

 unknown, there is still some doubt regarding the affinities (and perhaps 

 also the genus) of M. Baileyana.
