Habitat. — Very common in Queensland and generally known 

 colloquially as "Cockatoo Apple." It is represented in the 

 Queensland Herbarium from as far south as Fraser Island 

 (Cull. W. R. Petrie, who states he has also seen it growing on 

 the mainland opposite at Torquay) ; from thence it extends 

 practically all round the Queensland Coast to the Gulf of Car- 

 pentaria. 



Distribution. — New Guinea. 



Excluded species. 



Barringtonia racemosa Gaud. The Australian plant is B. 

 cali/iit rata R . Br. 



Barringtonia acutangula Gaertn. This species was recorded 

 by Mueller (second Census Aus. PI., 102) from Queensland; it 

 is recorded by Bailey (Queens. Fl., ii., 667) from "Around the 

 Gulf of Carpentaria." There are, however, no specimens of 

 the plant from any Queensland locality in the Queensland 

 Herbarium, and Prof. Ewart informs me that neithe" are there 

 any from a Queensland locality in the National Herbarium, 

 Melbourne; therefore, though it is very likely this species does 

 occur in the north-west of the State, I think it better that it 

 should be removed from the list of Queensland species until 

 authentic specimens have been collected.
