Bifortuous antbers are not on record among Vaccinieae, except in 

 Agapetes aniblyornidis and A. meliphagidum , concerning which Dr. 

 Beccai'i noted (Malesia I, 208 and 209) similarly dimorphous stamens, 

 attribnting liowever two contiguous cells to the smaller anthers of those 

 plants. I have therefore left this new species though reluctantly in 

 the genus Agapetes, as the fruit also remains unknown. Nevertheless 

 it would be best , to separate these three Papuan plants under the 

 generic appellation Dimorphanthera. The five shorter one-celled anthers 

 of our plant resemble much those of the Andine genus Macleania, 

 which likewise has the calyx-limb undivided. From D. amblyornidis 

 our plant differs specifically in rauch shorter petioles, smaller leaves 

 and flowers. and further in the calyces not being distinctly denticulated, 

 probably also in the fruit. From D. meliphagidum ours is more distinct, 

 thus it has neither the Prolongation of the connective of the anthers. 

 Dr. B e c c a r i mentions that these kinds of plants are much frequented 

 by honey-sucking birds. 



At the verge of the departure of the Right Reverend Dr. M o o r - 

 house, — who during the last ten years has been the highly esteemed 

 Lord Bishop of Melbourne, — for the See of Manchester, the lovely 

 plant, just recorded, is offered as a phytologic souvenir to this distin- 

 guished prelate, and named in grateful appreciation of much generous 

 sentiment extended also to the writer.]
