 Mueller, Baron von, Brief notes on some new Papuan plants. (Extra-print 

 from the Victorian Naturalist. 1892. November.) 



Already towards the end of last year I described for the tenth part 

 of the „Papuan plants" several remarkable novelties, but as more urgent 

 direct official Obligation» caused the completion of the mentioned 

 publication to be postponed, it is deemed desirable to offer preliminary 

 succinet notes in the Victorian Naturalist on some of the new plants- 

 elueidated. 



Antholoma Tieyhemi. 



It came from Mount Yule; the leaves aie almost ovate or somewhat 

 lanceolar, narrowly aenminated and distantly denticulated ; the longer 

 setule of the anthers and the three-celled ovulary separate this species 

 also from the New Caledonian A. montanum. 

 Sloanea Forbesii. 



This was found at Sogere, and comes near S. t.omentosa and S. str.rcu-- 

 liacea; the leaves are ovate or verge into a roundish form, soun glabres- 

 cent above, but puberulous beneath; the sepals are lanceolar and on both 

 sides velvety; the petals are somewhat longer and also velutinous ; the 

 stamens number from 25 to 30, are beset with minute hairlets throughout: 

 the anther-cells are scarcely longer than ihe filaments, the terminating 

 setule is haidly shorter ; the pistil except the summit of the style is 

 velutinous. 



Qu int inia Ma cgi ■egorü. 



This oecurs high up on Mount Suckling, and is nearest to Q. Faukneri,. 

 but the leaves are larger and on imich longer stalks, the calyces are 

 less angular, the style is much shorter, and the fruit-valves are more 

 emersed. 



Biophytum albiflorum. 



This was gathered on watercourses of Mount Obree. As the name 

 implies, it differs in its white petals from the few other known congeners, 

 but Stands s\'stematically near B. Rcimrardti, from which it is distinguish- 

 able further by leaflets more inequilateral, of more saineness of colour on 

 both sides, by longer pedicels and by fruits nearly as broad as long. If 

 Biophytum is to merge into Oxalis, then our plant shonld. reeeive the 

 name 0. Fapuana.
