CONTRIBUTION TO OUR KNOWLEDGE OF PAPUAN FLORA. 39 



A. sapindina (F.v.M.) Harms. Mekeo District. 



Carapa moluccensis Lam. Bail Queens. Agric. Joum., 

 ix, 410, and xxiv, 20. Port Moresby. 



Family EUPHORBIACE^. 



Flueggea microcarpa Blume. Port Moresby. 



The plant recorded as Flueggea microcarpa by Bailey in Queeiis. 

 Agric. Joum. xxiii, 219, is a verj' different plant, probably an 

 xmdescribed species of Glochidion. 



Phyllanthus urinaria L. Mt. Warirata (Astrolabe Range). 

 Glochidion magnificum K. Sch. Mafulu. 



My specimens are in fruit only, but I have little doubt of the deter- 

 mination. The capsules are densely pubescent, and about 4 lines (9 mm.) 

 in diameter. 



G. Ferdinandi Muell. Arg., var. supra-axillaris Benth. 

 Mafulu. 



Breynia cemua (Poir.) Muell. Arg. F. Muell. Pap. PI., 

 ii (6), 5. Mafulu. 



Eridelia tomentosa Bl. Sapphire Creek. 



A form with rather small leaves ; it agrees fairly well wdth specimens 

 from Somerset and Torres Strait, North Queensland (referred to by 

 Bailey, Queens. Flora v, 141) and Rept. Aus. Assoc. Adv. Sc, vii, 442. 



B. subnuda Schumm. & Laut. Bisiatabu. 



In the absence of material for comparison, it is with some hesitation 

 I make the above determination. 



Claoxylon HiUii Benth. Sogeri. 



Mallotus paniculatus Muell. Arg. Mafulu. 



Macaranga angustifolia Laut. & K. Sch. Deva Deva. 



M. punctata K. Sch. Bisiatabu (Astrolabe Range) ; also 

 a doubtful specimen from the Mekeo District. 



Acalypha insulana Muell. Arg. Astrolabe Range and Sogeri. 



A. Hellwigii Warb., var. mollis Warb. Deva Deva and 

 Mafulu. 



For the determination of the above species of Mallotvs, Macaranga, 

 and Acalypha I am indebted to the Director, Royal Botanic Gardens, 

 Kew, England. 



* Jatropha gossypisejolia Linn. Port Moresby. This 

 South American plant is a great pest in parts of North 

 Queensland.
