COLLECTED Df DUTCH NEW GUINEA. 85 



plane eminentes, 2 mm. longae. Achccnia adlmc cruda cylindrica, setulifera, 

 1-1-25 mm. longa. Fapjpi setae Iseves, sordide albas, 5 mm. longse. 



Camps IX to XI and XIII, 5500 to 8300 and 10,500 ft. 



Branches leafy throughout or without leaves for a short space not more than 4 cm. 

 below the inflorescence. Leaves drying darkish upon the upper face and palely shining ; 

 petioles up to 1 cm. in length, though mostly only half as long or even less, puberulous. 

 Corolla of female florets 4'5 mm. long, of hermaphrodite 6'5 mm. long, rather more than 

 1 mm. wide at the throat, its 5 deltoid lobes less than 1 mm. in length. Style-arms 

 compressed, obtuse, in length slightly exceeding 1 mm. 



This looks much like B. chinensis, DC, from which, however, it can readily be 

 distinguished by the denser inflorescence, the involucres, and the glabrou.s receptacles. 



Anaphalis MARiiE, F. Muell. in Trans. Eoy. Soc. Vict. i. part 2 (1889) 8. 

 Camps XI to XIII, 8300 to 10,500 ft. 

 Distrib. Endemic in New Guinea. 



Anaphalis monocephala, S. Moore, sp. nov. 



Caules reptantes, rigidi, tomentosi, deinde glabri, ramulos patentes crebro foliosos 

 tomentosos frequenter emittentes. Folia inferiora ramulorum approximata, lineari- 

 spathulata, obtusa, 7 mm. longa, superiora magis sparsa, necnon longiora, 1 cm. 

 longa, omnia utrinque tomento albo arcto vel araneoso involuta. Capitula ad 

 normam generis magna, apicem ramulorum solitatim terminantia, subsessilia, 

 multiflosculosa, circa 13 X 15 mm. Involucrum hemisphsericum, circa 7-seriale ; 

 phylla oblonga, cxtima basi araneoso-tomentosa, csetera glabra, appendice radiante 

 lineari-oblonga acuta vel obtuse acuta dilute brunnea onusta, estima 7-8 X 1"2 mm., 

 caetera 10 X 1 mm. Flosculi feminei circa 98, steriles. Flosculi hermaphroditi 

 circa 67, fertiles (anne omnes'?); coroUse tubulosje, superne brevissime ampli- 

 ficatse, vix 3 mm. longae, tubo lobis multo breviore. Antherce inclusse, basi 

 brevissime caudicuiatae, 1 mm. longae. Styli rami abbreviati. Achcenia oblonga, 

 glabra, 1 mm. longa. Fai^pi setce basi brevissime connatoe, scabridae, albae, 3 mm. 

 longae. 

 Camps XIII to XIV, 10,500 to 12,500 ft. 



A rampant herb with many very patent straggling wiry branches. Beceptacle 

 concave. Style of the fertile florets shortly exserted, its somewhat clubbed arms 

 0'2 mm. in length. 



Though its heads are solitary, A. nubigena, DC, var. papiuma, Lauterb. can scarcely 

 be identical with this, seeing that it is described as unbranched, with sub-linear white 

 involucral leaves. If it should prove to be identical, the plant above described could 

 not, in my judgment, be regarded as conspecific with A. nubigena. Its characteristics 

 among Papuan species may be said to be the small leaves hairy on both sides, the large 

 solitary heads, and the relatively narrow, pale bronze involucres. 



Gnaphalium luteo-album, Linn. Sp. PI. 851. 

 Camps VIII to X, 4900 to 6700 ft. 

 Bistrib. A cosmopolitan weed.
