 iu the live-lobed calyx and the correspondingly tive-cleft corolla and number of 

 stauiens. A dimorphism of the flowers occurs, the stamens of some being 

 iiiserted between the corolla-lobes, iu others near the base of the tube, while 

 the Icngth of the style in some flowers is greater than in others. 

 MOEINDA HYPOTEPHRA. 



Clinibing:; leaves sliort-stalked, firiulj^ chartaceous, mostly ovate-hinceolar' 

 acuminate, above dark green, beneath bearing a thin somewhat velvet-like grey 

 vestiture; stipules fugacious ; peduncles short, few or two together or scddom 

 solitary; headlets small, with only from two to tive flowers perfecting their fruit; 

 invohicral pericarp inside beset with rigidulous pale sliiuing bairlets putamen 

 of individual fruits almost ovate, smooth comparatively tliick, darke outside. 



On Mount-ßellenden-Ker, at a height of abont 5000 feet; W. Äayer. 



Leaves and fruits in sizo and shape similar tho those of M. jasminoides. 

 Flowers as yet unknown. Putamen about ^/e inch long. This plant has beeu 

 alluded to already in the April-number of this periodical , 1887, but by 

 name only. 



EULOPHIA HOLTZEI. 



Ehizome comparatively thin, somewhat horizontally procurrent; leaf long, 

 basal, broad-linear, gradually narrowed upwards, passing into a conspicuous stalk ; 

 euij)ty bracts several or many, semilanceolate-linear ; flowers twelve or fewer in 

 eacli raceme, rather small; floral bracts reaching beyond the calyx-tube or even 

 to the Upper end of the calyx-lobes, membranous, very narrow, much pointed; 

 stalklets short, as well as the tube of the calyx densely beset with minute bair- 

 lets; basal Protrusion of the lower calyx-lobes blunt and very short; paired 

 petals linear lanceolar, as well as the lobes of the calyx pinkish, but somewhat 

 yellow at the upper end ; labellum nearly as long as the other petals, its lateral 

 lobes oblique-semielliptical, somewhat shorter than the middle lobe, the latter 

 slightly dilated and roundish at the summit, with an additional minute apex, at 

 the upper side towards the middle and base beset with glandulär papillules ; 

 gynosteminm to near the summit very slender, beariog minute bairlets. about 

 half as long as the calyx-lobes; young fruit hemiellipsoid. 



Near Port Darwin ; M. Holtze. The species approaches E. ramenfacea, 

 but tliG lenf seems always au only one and developed prior tho the flowering 

 stem, the bracts are louger and narrower, the flowers snialler, thcir basal Pro- 

 trusion is much shorter, and the gynostemiiim of less broadness. From the 

 material before me, I have be(»n unable to ascortain with exactitude the form 

 of the pollinia and of their stipes. As an Australian plant this is very distinct.]
