Elatostemma lineolatum Wight, var. integrifolium Hook. 

 Between Sogeri and Javararie ; Dilava ; Mafulu. 



E, sesquifolium Hassk. Bisiatabu (Astrolabe Range). A 

 form with the leaves pubescent on both upper and lower 

 surfaces. 



E. sessile Forst. Dilava. 



My collection also contains several other species of Elato temma, but 

 in too bad a state for determination.

I follow Mueller and others in keeping the Papuan plant as 

 P. ineanus ; in general appearance, however, it can hardly be dis- 

 tinguished from the common Australian P. argenteus. All my specimens 

 and Mrs. S?hlenckers, referred to P. argenteus by Bailey I.e., are slightly 

 •scabrid on the upper sur;a',-e of the leaves.

Family PROTEACE.^. 



Grevillea pinnatifida Bail., Occasional Papers on the Queens- 

 land Flora, 6 (1886) ; G. Edelfeldiiana (name only) F. M. 

 in Vic. Nat., Feb. 1885, and Pap. PL, 2 (vi), 9 ; Lauter- 

 bach, Beitrage zur Flora Papuasien, iii, 329. Astrolabe Range 

 (very abundant). 



This tree is very abundant on the Astrolabe Range and averages 

 30-40 ft. high. I was unable, however, to gatliBr either flowers or 

 fruits, and Mueller named his G. Edelfeldtiana from leaves only. The 

 leaves, however, are exactly those of the North Queensland G. pinnatifida, 

 and consequently I have reduced Muellers name to a synonym. Mueller .s 

 name had a years priority over Baileys, but as it was unaccompanied 

 b\^ a description of any sort it should lapse in favour of the latter. I am 

 indebted to Prof. A. J. Ewart for having compared my Papuan material 

 with Mueller's type in the National Herbarium at Melbourne.
