824 QUEENSLAND LECYTHIDACEAE, 



the dried specimens light-brown streaked with white) ; stamens 

 numerous, the longest about 1 in. (2.5 em.) long; ovary 

 4-celled . 



Habitat. — Johnstone River (Dr. T. L. Bancroft). 



Distribution. — Endemic in Queensland. 



These specimens had previously been placed in the Queens- 

 land Herbarium with some doubt under B. acutangula from 

 which however they differ in possessing larger leaves, very much 

 larger flowers and 4-celled ovaries. 



I am much indebted to Prof. Ewart for the loan of a series 

 of specimens of B. acutangula from the Northern Territory for 

 purposes of comparison. The Australian plant has been sep- 

 arated by Miers (Trans. Linn. Soc, Bot., i., 87) as a distinct 

 species under the name of Stravadium gracile, and he himself 

 suggests that two species may be represented under this name; 

 they are both however very distinct from the Queensland plant. 

 Whether Miers name shall stand or whether there are more than 

 one species in the Northern Territory only a larger series of 

 specimens than at present exists in any collection will show. 



Barringtonia sp. 



Habitat. — Johnstone River (Rev. N. Michael) . 



Mr. Michael's specimens are in fruit and may quite likely be 

 identical with B. longiracemosa but the leaves are much larger, 

 in the specimens to hand attaining 17 in. (43.5 cm.) in length 

 and 61 in. (16 cm.) in breadth; the fruits (immature) are li 

 in. (4 cm.) long and acutely angled.
