Mueller has recorded C nobilis as a Papuan plant, and my collec- 

 tions include two other species, but both too fragmentary to name 

 specifically. 



Family NEPENTHACE.^.

 round edge of a small lake below HomVjrom Bluff. 



My specimens bear male flowers onlj" ; the spikes are more slender 

 and the flowers not so crowded as in the typical plant ; it may when 

 fruit are available prove distinct. Mrs. Schlenckers specimens referred 

 to by Bailey I.e. are in fruit and typical.

 agree well with the Australian plant.
