As the 2 plant of the type was alone collected, I add the description 
of the ¢ flower :— 
Pedunculi glabri, 2 em. longi, quisque flores tres ad apicem gerens quorum inter- 
medius sessiles. Calyx campanulatus, 4-dentatus, sericeus, 15 mm. longus. Corolle 
sericeo-villose, intus glabre, tubus graciles, leviter incurvus, 2 cm. longus, limbi lobi 
erassi, acuti, 2 mm. longi. Anthere lineares 4 mm. longe, basi bifidi, lobis obtusis, 
filamenta brevia, supra medium coroll aflixa, inclusa (apicem ipsem solum exserte). 
Ovarium subobsoletum; stylus 5°5 mm. longus, hirsutus; stigmato bilobato, 
glabro. ; 
This plant agrees with the above in the peculiar shape, texture, and 
venation of the leaves, though the latter in this case are more rounded to 
semicordate at the base. In size they agree uniformly with Wernham’s 
var. acuminatissima, which I cannot separate from the type, the reduced 
size of the leaves—not uniform in Kloss’s specimen, but well-marked in the 
Arfak plants—being no doubt correlated with the higher altitude.—L. 8. G.] 
PsYCHOTRIA sp., resembles P. sanMENTOSA BI. 
Arfak Mts., 8.W. ridge, running up to Angi lakes, 8000’. Fl. Dee. 
5527.—Epiphytic in forest by 2? lake, 7000’. Fl. 5930. 
“Shrub to small tree, flowers white.” In the absence of stipules and 
fruit the species cannot be more closely determined.

Jiistrib. New Guinea (D.N.W., Hatam, Mt. Arfak, Beccari (epiphyte) ; 
Angi lakes, Gjellerup). 
“Terrestrial. Most grotesque plants, over 1 m. high, with often a lateral 
branch at right angles to main shoot 1 m. in length. Large slate-blue 
flowers up the stem (P1.3. fig. 6). The same species, judging from the colour 
and size of the flowers, was also very abundant as an epiphyte, showing no 
peculiarities in size and habit (PI. 2. fig. 4). I saw one or two of these 
plants on the ground on Koebré, fallen from trees the branches of which had 
been singed in the annual burning. Possibly these plants, continuing their 
existence under more favourable circumstances, develop into the monstrous 
forms described above.”

This species resembles very much the Australian M. jasminoides Cunn.
