This species has been collected at Cox's Gap, Murrumbo, Goul- 

 burn River (K.T.B.), and now is recorded for the firs^- time for 

 N.S.W. Its fruit and bark very much resemble some forms of 

 E. corymhosa, to which it is very closely related.

Piptocalyx Moorei, Oliv. 



(Plate xll) 



It is only within the last few months that the fruits of this 

 species have been brought to light. The plant has been known 

 for many years, but has recently come into prominence through 

 its bitter leaves, which have been introduced into Europe as a 

 substitute for hops (Agricultural Gazette of N.S. W. v. 545). It 

 has been recently figured, but without the fruits, in Hooker's 

 Icones Plantarum (Vol. iv. Part 3, PI. 2367). The plant figured 

 differs from our specimens in being glabrous, while all known to 

 us are rusty pubescent. 



The fruiting perianth is oval in shape with a constricted base, 

 and measures scarcely 2 Knes in length and 1 hne in diameter; 

 colour purple when fully ripe, glabrous, fleshy with a hard 

 muricate endocarp. 



Seed with a membranous testa, pendulous from the apex of the 

 cavity with a short hilum.
