382 A NEW SPECIES OF ARDISIA. 



In the ' Flora von Kaiser Wilhelms Land,' by K. Schuhmann, 

 A. imperialis, collected by M. Hollrimg, n. 256, is recorded. It 

 is described (Eng. Jahrb. ix. 213) as a tree about 9 to 18 feet 

 high, and with deep rose-coloured flowers. 



These species are all distinct from the one now described from 

 New South Wales. 



I beg to thank Mr. J. G. Luehmann, F.L.S., Curator, National 

 Herbarium, Victoria, for the use of his herbarium, and also Mr. 

 Bauerlen for assistance in working out this species.
