Triumfetia micrantha a fontibus fluminum Nicholson's River et 

 Gilbert^s River me ipso allata est. 



Triumfetta pilosa occurrit ad Rockingham's Baj. Sepala 

 saltem usque 5'" longa. 



Triumfetta appendiculata statu miuus tomentoso reperta est aJ 

 Kinp:'s Sound ab Alhino Ilughau, ad Camden's Ilarbour a Dr.

Herbaceus, erectus v. decumbens, imperfecte pLlosiuscuIus et 

 scabridus, foliis petiolo aliquoties pluriesve longioribus oblongo- v. 

 ovali-lauceolatis v. ovato- v. elliptico-oblongis raro ovato-orbicu- 

 laribus semper crenato-serratis, dentibus imis muticis v. rarlus in 

 setulam escurrentibus, stipulis llneari- v, setaceo-subulatis, peduu- 

 culis l-S-floris perbrevibus passim obliteratis, pedicellis pctioluoi 

 jcquantibus v. ssepe eodem brevioribus, floribus paryis, alabastris 

 ovatis acuminatiSj sepalis petalisque quinque, his ovato-spatulatis 

 illa fere asquantibus, gynophoro brevissimo fere obliterato, stamini- 

 bus indefinitis, capsulis siliqniformihns gracilibus rectis elongato- 

 cylindricis 3 — l- rarius 2-valvatis semper inermibus apteris poly' 

 spermis inter semina septulatis iu apicem obtusiusculum attenuatis, 

 seminibus uigris opacis cubico- v. angulato-ovatis. 



In pascuis Australire orientalis calidioris passim repertus ; e. g.

 Creek, Elliofs River, Burdekin's River, Bo\ven's River, Isaac's 

 River (Bowman) ; Glenliue et Rockingham's Bay (Dallachy). 



Planta apud nos occurrens sesqui-pedalis, sed interdum jana 

 statu pygmseo (sesquipoUicari) fructificat. Folia aliquoL passim 

 orbiculata. Capsuke longitudine varia^, sed nunquam breves. 



Corchorum olltarium (L. Sp. Pl. p, 746 ; Lam, Encycl. t. 478 ; 

 Hook. Bot. 3Iag. 2810) cum C. triloculari liaud facile confundes 

 ob folia srepe latiora et longius petiolata, tunc pr^esertim ob cap- 

 sulas insigniter crassiores sxepissime quinque-valvatas. 



Corchorus vermicularis nuperrime detectus est adflumen Suttor'» 

 River a cl. Bowman. 



Corchorus echinatus nascitur ad flumen FJindersi. 



Corchorus hygrophilus mihi ti^ansmissus est ex Australia orien- 

 tali capricornica ab E. Bowman. Alabastra orato-globosa v. 



pyriformia, obtusissima. Hsec species Corchoro capsulari arcta 



affinitate jungitur. 



Cyclum oranium formarum C. hygrophili et C. Cunninghami 

 adhuc amplius investigare oportet. Capsulae enim C. Cunning- 

 hami in speciminibus a cL Thozet prope Rockhampton collectia-
