 angular ; leaves small, on short petioles, ternately or some quaternately 

 verticillate, cuneate-obovate, the lateral venules almost obliterated; spikes 

 extremely slender, mostly terminal, conspicuously but thinly pedunculate; 

 flowers in close proximity ; bracts very miuute, orbicular ; ovulary

On Mount Bartle Freie; Stephen Johnson. 



From some few inches to nearly one foot high. Leaves l /a — s /4 inch 

 long. Spikes solitary or occasionally two togetber, generally 1 — l 1 / 2 inches 

 long. Flowers unknown. Fruitlets, when dry, slightly rough. Mons. 

 Casimir de Candolle, who received specimens from me, to bring his 

 unrivalled knovvledge of Piperaceae to bear on this singularly local plant, 

 places it near P. obversa among the 370 Peperomias, known to him since 

 describing them monographically in 1869. It received the specific name 

 under our Joint authority. Lately also a representative of the order 

 Piper Holtzei) has been discovered in N. W. Australia. 



Gavcinia Warn nii. 



Glabrous; brauchlets robust, angular; leaves of firm texture, on Short 

 petioles, mostly lanceolar-ovate, their primary lateral venules numerous 

 and somewhat prominent particularly beneath ; flowers rather large, crowded 

 into axiüary Clusters; outer sepals very short; petals four, largely pale; 

 staminal mass of the male flowers divided almost to the base into four 

 ovate lobes, about half as long as the petals ; anthers extremely numerous, 

 densely covering the inner side of the lobes to near the base, pale, partly 

 on very short rilaments, partly sessile, their cells divergent, widely dehiscent; 

 rudimentary pistil rather thick, angular, with a convex stigma. 



Near the Coen- River; Stephen Johnson.
