think it advisable to keep these two trees distinct, the following character well 

 marking the one from the other. 



Leaves simple F.maculosa. 



Leaves all or nearly all 3-5 foliolate, rarely a few simple or unifoliate F. Strseleckiana. 



Duuhlful Species. 



FUndersia papiiana, F. v. MuelL, Deseript. Notes on Papuan Plants, i., (v.), 

 1877, 84. 



Mueller named this species from a single immature fruit only. While col- 

 lecting in Papua in August, 1918, 1 gathered fruit-valves of a FUndersia off the 

 ground in a ricli rain forest between Okaka and Mafulu (inland from Yule 

 Island) but failed to get foliage or flowers. Mr. E. Stanley, Gdvt. Geologist of 

 Papua, who was with me at the time, informed me however that the tree is not 

 at all uncommon in the country west of Hall Sound and has promised to try 

 and send complete specimens. The fruit-valves are the largest of any FUndersia 

 yet described, my specimens measuring 7] to Si ins. (18.5-30 cm.) long, lJ-2 ins. 

 (3.8-5 em.) broad and 9-10 lines (2-2.3 cm.) deep.
