This di:ffers from the Javan F. Graudicliaucli R. Br. in the small 

 leaves, the ribbed more markedly angled berries with a prominent 

 umbo and the somewhat larger seeds. Warburg (Pllanzenr., Pan- 

 danacese, 32) notes that Bailey (Syn. Queensl. Flora, 567) gives the 

 Javan species as occurring in Queensland, remarking this to be pro- 

 bably in error for another and undescribed species. Curiously enough, 

 he is unaware that not only Bentham (Flora Austral, vii. 151) but 

 Mueller too (Syst. Census. Austral. PL 120) had previously claimed 

 F. Gail dicli and ii for Australia. Comparison of Australian material 

 with the type (in the British Museum) of F. Gaudicliaudii shows 

 clearly enough the error into which Bentham, Mueller and Bailey 

 have fallen.
