Derby, a shrub or small tree with deciduous leaves (Nos. 

 1176 and 1177, 7. Nov. 1914, hardly yet in full leaf). 



The small-leaved Ficus which I have collected at Derby (in 

 two slightly different forms), belongs to the collective species 

 F. orbicularis A. Cunn., as limited by Bentham (1. c). But as far 

 as the descriptions go, my specimens agree better with F. indecora 

 Miq., than (1) with F. orbicularis in the original narrower sense 

 (as given by Miquel, 1. c), or (2) with F. Beckleri Miq. (Journ. 

 Bot. Neerl. 1861, 241), and as the reasons for uniting these three 

 species into one are not quite convincing, I prefer to use 

 Miquel's name. 



Santalaceæ.

Derby, in the savannah forest (No. 1180, 7. Nov. 1914). A 

 small tree with flexible, and pendulous young branches and 

 glaucous leaves. * 



Loranthaceæ. 



As I was not quite sure that my determinations of the Lo- 

 ranthaceæ were correct, I sent specimens of the different numbers 

 to Professor A. Engler of Berlin, the well-known authority on 

 this family. He was so kind as to undertake a revision of my 

 identifications, which appeared to agree wholly with his views, 

 and I use this opportunity to thank him for his kind assistance.

Broome, common on Acacia binervosa (No. 1160, 5. Nov. 1914), 

 in full flower, and with some ripe fruits. 



Loranthus acacioides A. Cunn., in Benth. Fl. Austr. Ill (1866) 392. 



Derby, common on Adansonia Gregorii (No. 1183, 7. Nov. 

 1914), all specimens in flower. It does not grow on Acacia, as 

 might be thought from the name, which, however, relates to the 

 likeness of the plant to an Acacia. 



Loranthus bifurcatus Benth., FL Austr. Ill (1866) 393. 



Derby, common on Eucalyptus clavigera var. (No. 1181, 7. 

 Nov. 1914); a very characteristic species, with young (unripe) fruits. 



Loranthus quandang Lindl. in Mitch. Three Exped. II, 69; 

 quoted from Bentham, Fl. Austr. Ill (1866) 395.
