In its petals and androecium this genus is reminiscent of p fycho- 

 petalum ; but the well-developed calyx, the prominent disk and the 

 three ovules hanging from the top of a slender placenta are important 

 differences. The alternipetalous whorl of stamens undoubtedly 

 keeps it oat of Strombosia, with which otherwise it might perhaps 

 be merged. 



Coulv UTltTS. In Journ. Bot. 1920 (p. 226) this was described 

 as a supposed new (and second) species, and this is a fitting place to 

 remark that Dr. deWildeman has been good enough to call my atten- 

 tion to his description of Goula Gabrce in Bui. Soc. Bot. Belg. 

 xxxviii 189, unfortunately overlooked by me. On comparing this 

 description with that of G. utilis some discrepancies come to light ; 

 the chief one concerns the leaves, which are said to be coriaceous like 

 those of G. edulu BailL In spite of this there are some points ot 

 agreement tending to suggest that the two may be conspecinc 

 although this cannot be decided satisfactorily in the absence ot 

 material for comparison. 



3. SpECIERUM 3TOYABUM OCCIDEXTALI-AUSTRALIEXSIUM PTJGILLTJS. 



Mr Oswald Sargent of York (W.A.) has for some years been 

 known as a careful student oi the West Australian Flora. In this 

 connection readers of this Journal will remember his paper on climb- 

 ing Droseras (vol. li. pp. 38 sqq.). A small parcel recently sent by 

 him to the Museum has yielded the presumed new species which, at 

 his own request, are here described.
