DiSTEiB. According to Mr. E. D. Meekill, an allied Australian 

 species N. clepressa Banks et Sol. occurs in the Philippine islands. 



Very much like N. clepressa Banks et Sol. ; but differs from it in 

 having entire lobes of corolla, black colored berries, and cristate stig- 

 mas. The occurrence of this Australian genus is very remarkable.
