494 F. M. Bailey. 
1 in. long, very slender, of a glossy-gold colour. Outer glumes much 
striate, and more or less silky with fine soft hairs. — Queensland: 
Winton, Thos. G. Wright. 
41. Alstonia constricta F. v. M. var. montmariensis Bail, l. c., p. 198, 
pl. XIX, fig. 3. — A tall slender shrub, bark tessellately-cracked, yellow 
inside and very bitter, smooth and more or less velvety and of a red- 
dish-brown on the branchlets. Leaves narrow-lanceolate, opposite, 2 to 
3 in. long, 2 to 4 lines broad, tapering at the base to a slender petiole 
from 3 to 6 lines, thinly pubescent; veins and nerves faintly visible, 
The corymbose-cymes terminal, small; flowers somewhat scattered, small, 
the whole inside bearded with white hairs. — Queensland: Mount 
Maria, Warrego, F. M. B., 1876; Eidsvold, T. L. Bancroft, 1911. 
49. Loranthus conspicuus Bail, 1. c., p. 198, pl. XX. — A somewhat 
stout plant; the branches dichotomous, closely and irregularly ribbed, 
often between these reddish ribs of a glaucous colour; the nodes rather 
close and prominent. Leaves coriaceous, nearly or quite sessile; the 
larger ones 21. to 3 in. long, 1!/ to 13/, in. broad, obliquely ovate, very 
blunt at the apex, but tapering to the base from about the centre; mar- 
gins entire, somewhat undulate, 3 to 5 nerved, the nerves slightly 
branched, the reticulation faint; the smaller leaves more numerous, 
oblong, or obtuse cuneate, sessile or very shortly petiolate, from 1 in. 
to 21/, in. long; the margins even, usually 3-nerved, Flowers in axillary 
cymes, very dense and dark-coloured, sessile; the bracts and calyx 
clothed with hairs hoary-white on the calyx, dark on the bracts. Bracts 
triangular; calyx-lobes minute. Petals free, 6 to 9 lines long, narrow. 
— Queensland: Eidsvold, Dr. Thos. L. Bancroft. — A specimen, 
received several years ago from the Herbarium, Royal Botanic Gardens, 
Kew, and labelled L. coronatus Broadsound, is identical with the present 
plant; no authority, however, was given for the name coronatus, which 
has since been applied by Engler to an African species. The nearest 
ally of this new species is L. quandang Lindl. 
43. Viscum australe Bail, Le p. 199. — Growth of plant erect; 
the main stem very short, sometimes only a few lines; from this arise 
one or more flat, mostly 3-nerved, coriaceous branches, 1!/, to 21/, in. 
long, 3 to 6 lines broad, bluntly-lanceolate in form, bearing here and 
there along the margin shorter but similar shaped branchlets. The 
nodal cluster small, seldom showing any marks or lines to the opposite 
cluster, and the indentation in which the cluster of flowers is seated is 
often almost imperceptible, thus in this one can scarcely speak of inter- 
nodes. Inflorescence much the same as in Y. articulatum Burm., Benth.

rather V. japonicum Thunb, — Queensland: Crow’s Nest, E. W.
