COLLECTED IN DUTCH NEW GUINEA. 89 
Ovarium ovoideo-turbinatum, 2 mm. longum, sursum 1:5 mm. latum ; Stylus 
inclusus. Bacca globosa, puberula, circa 5 mm. diam. 
Camps VIII to IX and XI to XIII, 4900 to 10,500 ft. 
Leaves drying green; nerves fairly well seen, especially on the upper side; petioles 
not more than 1 mm. long. 
This much resembles the New Zealand P. angulata, Hook. f., from which it can be 
distinguished without diffieulty by the subsessile leaves with cordate base. 
PrATIA WOLLASTONII, S. Moore, sp. nov. 
Caulis gracilis, decumbens radicansque, glaber. Folia parvula, circa 5'5 x 45 mm., 
subsessilia, late ovata, apice basique obtusissima, margine crenulata sparsimque 
ciliata, aliter glabra, membranacea. Pedunculi graciles, foliis multo longiores, 
usque ad 25 mm., sepius 12 mm. longi. Calycis lobi lineari-lanceolati, obtusi, 
margine ciliolati, 2:2-2:5 mm. longi. Corolla calycem plane superans, 7:5 mm. 
longa; lobi postici spathulato-oblongi, obtusi; labium anticum 45 mm. longum, 
in triente inferiore indivisum, lobis oblongis obtusis. Stamina subinclusa; filamen- 
torum tubus basi corolle adnatus, 4 mm. longus; anthers 1:75 mm. longs, antice 
breviter aristulate. Ovarium anguste turbinatum, interdum vix omnino glabrum ; 
stylus ex cono antherarum breviter emergens. 
Camps VIII to IX, 4900 to 5500 ft. 
Leaves drying greyish green, nervation obscure; petioles 1 mm. long, deeply channelled 
above. Berry not seen. 
This can be at once distinguished from P. papuana by means of its leaves and the long 
ovary of its flowers.

DIMORPHANTHERA, F. Muell. ex Wing, South Sc. Rec. ii. (Feb. 1886) in obs.

Pentapterygii modo pentapterus. 
Mueller's genus Dimorphanthera has been regarded as a section, merely, of Agapetes. 
It differs from the latter, however, in habit, leaf-venation, toothing of the calyx, and 
length and structure of the anthers. "These differences together seem to justify amply 
the maintenance of Mueller's genus. The two species described below agree with 
Dimorphanthera in all the characters just named, differing only in the structure of the 
calyx-tube ; this resembles closely that of the allied Himalayan genus Pentapterygium. 
I propose, therefore, to include them in a separate section of Dimorphanthera, as 
defined above. 
DIMORPHANTHERA ($ PrERIDOSIPHON) MACLEANLEFOLIA, Wernham, sp. nov. 
Planta preter flores glabra. Folia coriacea, ampla, elliptica vel ovata, breviter

petiolus validus, ca. 1 cm. longus. Calycis 5 mm. longi tubus subpentapterus, cum
