44, Eugenia (5 Syzygium) Francisii Bail, Le p. 315, pl. XXXI. — 
„Water Gum of Kin Kin.“ A very large glabrous tree, said by Mr. Francis 
to attain a trunk diameter of 7 to 8 feet, The branchlets rather slender 
and somewhat flattened. Leaves lanceolate to ovate-lanceolate, 1!/, to 
27, m long, !/, to 1'/, in. broad, on short broadish petioles, glossy- 
green on the upper, pale on the undersides, the lateral nerves very 
slender and crowded with a wavy reticulation between the marginal 
nerve some distance from the margin. Inflorescence terminal and lateral, 
in trichotomous panicles or cymes, usually slender, often less than 2 in. 
.long, the branchlets of the inflorescence ending in heads of from 3 to 
6 pedicellate flowers. Buds obtuse, small. Calyx bearing 4 short trian- 
gular lobes. Petals 4, yellowish white, glandular dotted, rotund, free, 
Stamens 1!/, lines long flexuouse; anther-cells parallel, Fruit purple, 
depressed, globular, crowned by the calyx-lobes, diameter nearly !/, in. 
depth nearly 3 lines. — Queensland: Kin Kin Scrubs, W. D. Francis, 
who says. — „It is the largest tree of these scrubs, with the exception 
of the Kauri pine and the largcr fig trees. The name ,water gum' is 
derived from the fact that very large quantities of a clear liquid gush 
from the pipe of the barrel when these trees are cut towards the centre, 
but the sap-like flavour which impregnates the liquid unfits it for drinking 
purposes.* 
45. Passiflora aurantia Forst. var. pubescens Bail, |. c. p. 315, 
pl. XXXI. — Plant of slender growth, pubescent, without petiolary 
glands. Flowers yellow, dying off a reddish colour. Fruit oval, ex- 
ceeding 1 in. long. — Queensland: Ipswich, T. F. Hall, May, 1909. 
Dr. T. L. Bancroft, Eidsvold, April, 1911. — In the Queensland Flora, 
page 689, I have followed Baron Mueller and given one of our Passi- 
floras as P. aurantia Forst., and the P. Banksii Benth., only as a syno- 
nym. In publishing the present new variety, it seems, however, ad- 
visable to place P. Banksii also as a variety particularly as so far 
as known to me in Queensland; the petioles of var. Banksü are al- 
ways furnished with 2 glands, while in var. pubescens they are always 
wanting. 
46. Ficus ($ Urostigma) macrophylla Desf. var. pubescens Bail, l. c., 
p. 316, pl. XXXIII, — This tree has been long confused with the normal 
form known as Moreton Bay Fig; like that it forms a large tree, but 
while that is glabrous, or nearly so in all its parts, this variety is more 
or less densely clothed with short, brown hairs; its leaves are also 
smaller on shorter petioles, The largest leaf-scales seen about 3 in. 
long, !/, in. broad at base, and tapering to a fine point. Its receptacles 
differ very considerably — they are of a flattish oval approaching a 
bluntly 3-angular, about 1 in. long, ?/, in broad, of a yellowish colour, 
and covered with short warts of a deeper yellow and wax-like, making 
the receptacle very rough, when quite matured soft, of a reddish purple, 
quite smooth, the warts appearing only as dots. Peduncles from 4 lines 
to about 1 in. somewhat thick. — Queensland: South Queensland.
