12 



segments are linear, strap-shaped, with l)hnitly rounded ends. The 

 veins are parallel, branching dichotoniously at long intervals, fine, 

 about 12 in a space of 5 mm. The ultimate segments are 3 to 5 mm. 

 wide, and the total length from the top of the petiole is about 7 cm. 



This species is very similar to Fontaine's B. multifida,^^ a wide- 

 spread type and may be identical Avith it. It is quite distinct in 

 appearance from any of the other Queensland species.

Leaf divided into a small number of segments, widel}- separated. 

 The petiole is about 1-5 mm. wide and striated longitudinally. The 

 leaf divides dichotomously at the top of the petiole and each branch 

 further divides dichotomously once or twice, producing usually up 

 to 8 ultimate segments. The segments attain a length of at least 

 6-5 cm. from the top of the petiole to the outer margin, and the 

 ultimate segments are about 8 mm. in width. The veins are few in 

 number in each segment, and are about 1 mm. apart ; they branch 

 dichotomously at long intervals. The apices of the segments are 

 not preserved in any of the specimens. 



This appears to be quite a distinct species, dilTcring from others 

 in the small number of segments, and the widely spread veins. 

 Single segments are very similar to those of Baiera bidens but the 

 lower part of the leaf is quite distinct as shown by the figures of 

 the two species ; they are also distinct in the division of the leaf. 

 The species is distinct in ap])earance from any figured in literature 

 available to me.
