PROTEACE^E. 

 Grevillea gibbosa, R. Br. (Plate LXV. F.) 



G refilled gibbosa, R. Br. in Trans. Linn. Soc. Lond., x. p. 177; Lenth., Fl. Austr., v. p. 463. 



Arrou. — This arboreous species inhabits the islands of the coast of Queensland, and Mr 

 Moseley brought a single fruit of it from the above-named island. With the exception of 

 a few species in New Caledonia, this genus, which comprises about 160 species, is restricted 

 to Australia. 



Grevillea sp. \ (Plate LXV. G.) 



Arrou. — There is a little doubt respecting the genus of this fruit. Dr Beccari writes 

 that he has flowers of what he thinks may be the same from New Guinea. 



LORANTHACEiE. 

 Loranthus longiflorus, Desr. 1 



Loranthux longiflorus, Desr. ? Benth., FL Austr., iii. p. 390. 



Ki ; Timor Laut. — Typical Loranthus longiflorus is found in India, Timor, and North- 

 eastern Australia. Imperfect specimens of three or four other species were collected in the 

 Eastern Moluccas. The genus Loranthus numbers nearly 350 species spread all over the 

 tropics, and a few extending into temperate regions, as one in Europe, four or five in New 

 Zealand, and ten or a dozen in Chili. 



SANTALACE/E. 

 Exocarpus latifolia, R. Br. var. ? 



Exocarpus latifolia, R. Br. var. 1 Benth., Fl. Austr., vi. p. 228; Miq., Fl. Ind. But., i. 1, p. 781. 



Timor Laut. — This species ranges from the Philippines to North-eastern Australia, 

 southward to the Tweed river and New South Wales. It includes the Exocarpus miniata, 

 Zipp., Exocarpus luzonensis, Presl, and Exocarpus orata, Schnitzl. The genus comprises 

 about fourteen species, whereof nine, including the present, inhabit Australia, and eight of 

 these are endemic and spread over the whole country. There is one endemic species in 

 New Zealand, one in Norfolk Island, one in New Caledonia, one in the Sandwich Islands, 

 and one in Madagascar. The apparent absence of the genus from the other parts of 

 Polynesia is remarkable.
