COLLECTED IN DUTCH NEW GUINEA. 89 



Ovarium ovoideo-turbinatum, 2 mm. long-um, sursum ly mm. latum ; stylus 

 inclusus. Bacca globosa, puberula, circa 5 mm. diam. 

 Camps VIII to IX and XI to XIII, 4900 to 10,500 ft. 



Leaves drying green ; nerves fairly Tvell seen, especially on tbe vipper side ; petioles 

 not more than 1 mm. long. 



This much resembles the New Zealand P. angulata. Hook, f., from which, it can be 

 distinguished without difficulty by the subsessile leaves with cordate base. 



Pratia Wollastonii, S. Moore, sp. nov. 



Caulis gracilis, decumbens radicansque, glaber. Folia parvula, circa 5*5 x 4i'5 mm., 

 subsessilia, late ovata, apice busiqae obtusissima, margine crenulata sparsimque 

 ciliata, aliter glabra, membranacea. JPeclmicuU graciles, foliis multo longiores, 

 usque ad 25 mm., sjepius 12 mm. long!. Cal//cls lobi lineari-lanceolati, obtusi, 

 margine ciliolati, 2'2-2-5 mm. longi. Coi'olla calycem plane superans, 7'5 mm. 

 louga; lobi postici spathulato-oblongi, obtusi; labium anticum 4-5 mm. longum, 

 in triente inferiore indivisum, lobis oblongis obtusis. Stamina subinclusa ; filamen- 

 torum tubus basi corollie adnatus, 4 mm. longus; antheraj 1*75 mm. longae, anticiB 

 breviter aristulatse. Ovarium anguste turbinatum, interdum vix omnino glabrum ; 

 stylus ex cono antlierarum breviter emergens. 



Canips VIII to IX, 4900 to 5500 ft. 



Leaves drying greyish green, nervation obscure; petioles 1 mm. long, deeply channelled 

 above. Berry not seen. 



This can be at once distinguished from P.jxtjniaua by means of its leaves and the long 

 ovary of its flowers.

DiMORPHANTHERA, F. Muell. ex Wing, South Sc. Eec. ii. (Feb. 1886) in obs. 



§ 1. Pteridosiphon, Wernham, sect. nov. Calycis tubus etsi breviter, tamen conspicue 

 Fe)it(ipterygii modo pentapterus. 

 Muelli'r's genus Fimorphanthera has been regarded as a section, merely, of Agapetes. 

 It differs from the latter, however, in habit, leaf-venation, toothing of the calyx, and 

 leuo-th and structure of the anthers. These differences together seem to justify amply 

 the maintenance of Mueller's genus. Tlie two species described below agree with 

 L>imorphaiithera in all the characters just named, differing only in the structure of the 

 calvx-tube; this resembles closely that of the allied Himalayan genus Fentapterygium. 

 I propose, therefore, to include them in a separate section of Dimorphaiithera, as 

 defined above. 



DiMORPHANTHERA (§ Pteridosiphon) Macleani^folta, Wernham, sp. nov.
