218 VEGETATION OF THE FEEJEE ISLANDS. 
angustioribus? An B. semibifide Wall. var. calyce longiore? 
Perhaps a distinct species from either, but the specimens 
are too young to determine. New Guinea, Mr. Hinds; To- 
bie Island, Mr. Barclay. 
Acacia laurifolia Willd. Feejee Islands, Mr. Hinds. 
Bruguiera Aheedii, Blume. Tobie Island, Mr. Barclay. 
Bruguiere, sp., with small flowers and an angled tigillus, 
but not in a state to determine. Tobie Island, Mr. Bar- 
clay. : 
Cereops pauciflora, sp. n., folis obovali-oblongis longe 
petiolatis, pedunculis axillaribus bifloris.—Folia bipollicaria, 
in petiolum pollicarem angustata, apice obtusissima v. retusa. 
Pedunculi petiolo subbreviores, recurvi, crassi. Bracteæ C. | 
Timoriensis. Flores majores. Sepala fere 3 lin. longa. Pe- 
tala calyce breviora, membranacea, obovato-oblonga, medio 
lateraliter coherentia, apice involuta, truncata, triaristata, 
setis claviformibus, basi angustata. Stamina petalis æqui- 
longa, filamentis apice abrupte attenuatis et inflexo-hamatis. 
 Anthere sagittate acutiuscule. Stylus e basi incrassato- 
conica filiformis, stamina subequans, stigmate obtuso. Ova- — 
rium ealyei omnino adherens, uniloculare, ovulis pluribus - 
ex apice pendulis. The ovary is certainly unilocular as des- 
cribed by Decaisne in the Timor species, and not trilocular 
as Arnott found it in his C. Candolleana to which he is dis- 
posed to refer Decaisne’s plant. The species now described 
is evidently distinct from both, in the fewer and much — 
larger flowers, narrower leaves, &c. New Ireland, Mr. 
Barclay.
