Var. ALPESTRE, Ridl., var. nov. 
Herba minor compactior, foliis 74 mm. longis 7 mm. latis. 
Camps XIII to XI, 8300 to 10,500 ft. 
Closely allied to this is a smaller-flowered plant, with broader papery stipules, from 
Wharton Range, New Guinea, collected by Giulianetti (Herb. Kew.) It seems also 
intermediate between this and the next species.

Herba pusilla, perennis, 3-14 em. alta. Folia petiolis gracilibus 5-7 cm, longis 
sericeis, lamina 5-palmata 6 mm. longa 12 mm. lata subtus sericea superne 
hirtula, lobis trilobulatis obcuneatis, lobulis obtusis vel minute mucronulatis. 
Stipule ovate, acutee, pubescentes, lata, ferruginese, 2 mm. longs. Llores singuli, 
pedunculis 5 mm. longis sericeis. Bractee 2, ovate, acute, ferrugineze, pubescentes, 
2 mm. longs. Pedicelli 5 mm. longi, sericei. Sepala lanceolata, acuta, cuspidata,

cuneata, obtusa. Stamina glabra, sepalis breviora. Carpella hirta, stylis brevibus 
glabris. 
Camp XIII, 10,500 ft. 
This differs from the preceding species in the silky-white backs to the leaves, the 
broad ovate papery stipules and bracts, the smaller and narrower petals which appear 
to have been white, and the shorter thicker styles. 
OXALIS CORNICULATA, Linn. Sp. Pl. 435. 
Camps VIII to IX, 4900 to 5500 ft. 
Distrib. Al over the world. A weed. 
IMPATIENS HAWKERI, Bull, in Gard. Chron. x. s. xxv. (1886) 761, fig. 168. 
Camp III, 2500 ft., and Camps VIb, VII to VIII, 3600 ft. to 4900 ft. 
These latter specimens have the petals nearly entire instead of distinctly lobed. 
Specimens from Camps IX to XI, 5500 to 8300 ft., are more hairy than usual. 
I cannot distinguish these specimens from specimens of J. Hawkeri, Bull, in Herb. 
Kew., but the colour of the flowers as given by Mr. Kloss in his field-notes is “ mauve- 
pink," whereas the ordinary well-known plant is generally nearly scarlet. —— 
The species is endemic, and appears to be widely spread in New Guinea. — be,
