STIRPES EXOTICÆ NOVÆ. 239 
longiuseule (ad 2 cent.) petiolata, basi articulata, oblongo-lanceo- 
lata (10 cent. longa, 4 cent. lata), apice acuta v. obtusiuscula, 
basi magis acutata, subintegra vix coriacea, supra (in sicco) lu- 
tescentia, subtus glaucescentia, penninervia; nervis crebris sub- 
parallelis. Flores ad summum ramulum subumbellati pauci (3, l), 
singuli in axilla bracteæ deciduæ (e cicatrice notæ) longe (ad 4, 
5 cent.) pedunculatæ; pedunculis rigidis rectis ad apicem incras- 
satis. Calyx brevis gamophyllus coriaceus suborbicularis, subinteger 
v. inæqui-crenatus persistens. Petala in alabastro breviter ovoidec 
arcte imbricata, exteriora pauca latiora ovato-orbicularia crassa; 
interiora autem numerosiora angustiora tenuioraque. Stamina oo , 
corolla paulo altius germinis stipiti brevi cylindrieo inserta; fila- 
mentis erectis obpyramidato-compressis; antheræ subapicalis 
loculis linearibus subtransversis, longitudinaliter rimosis. Carpella 
ad 10, in caput inæquali-sulcatum coalita; loculis totidem oo -ovu- 
latis; ovulis in singulis 2-seriatim obliquis, angulo interno insertis; 
stigmatibus totidem linearibus apice toruloso prominulis subhori- 
zontalibus (in sicco fuscatis). — In Wagap Austro-Caledoniæ 
leg. cl. Fieillard a quo in exs. Drymis neo-caledonicus nancu- 
patur, quod nomen nullo modo servare potuimus. 
Species floris fabrica Z. Vieillardi affinis videtur, differt ante omnia 
floribus longe pedunculatis nec ad summum ramulum subsolitariis. 
Carpella quoque, ut videtur, minus inter se quam in planta prototyp. 
cohærentia.

Frulieulus (2-metralis, test. Balansa) ; ramis alternis divaricatis 
fuscatis rugosis, cortice striato; ramulis junioribus glabrescen-

summis ramulis conferta alterna oblongo-obovata (2-5 cent. longa, 
4, 2 cent. lata), apice obtusa rotundata, basi longe attenuata in 
petiolum brevem (ad $ cent.), integerrima coriacea crassa glaber- 
rima, supra lævia (pallide virescentia), subtus glaucescentia (parce
