CONTRIBUTIONS TO THE QUEENSLAND FLORA. 75 
Sideroxylon Brownlessianum F.v.M. Fragm. vii., p. 111; 
F. M. Bailey, ““ Queensland Flora,” iii., p. 959. Fruit, which 
were previously unknown, have been collected at Gadgarra, 
Atherton Tableland, by A. L. Merrotsy and C. T. White. 
Following is a description of them :—Fruit oval, | in. long 
and 3-in. in diameter, 2-seeded. Seeds narrowly obovate, 
3-in. long; testa dark brown, glossy; hilum linear, about 
three-fourths the length of seed. 
OrpER APOCYNACEA. 
Alstonia longissima F.v.M., Papuan Plants, 1 (v.), p. 91 
(1877). Specimens of this plant collected at Port Moresby, 
Papua, by C. T. White, show that the species is identical 
with A. somersetensis, Bail., ‘‘Queensland Agricultural Journal” 
i, pp. 229, 368 (1897). Bailey’s specimens were collected at 
Somerset, Cape York Peninsula, by F. L. Jardine, and his 
name must lapse in favour of Mueller’s earlier one. The species 
is figured on page 324 of Bailey’s ““ Comprehensive Catalogue 
of Queensland Plants.” 
OrpER LAURACEA. 
Cryptocarya foveolata* sp. nov. Arbor magna, ramulis 
juvenilibus pubescentibus ; foliis alternis petiolatis ovatis vel 
ellipticis obtuse acuminatus  subtriplinervis prominente 
foveolatis utrinque reticulatis; paniculis terminalibus vel 
axillaribus ; floribus breviter pedicellatis, perianthii tubo 
obconico, lobis ovatis ; bacca globosa. 
A tree attaining a height of about 100 ft. and a barrel 
diameter of about 2 ft. Barrel not prominently flanged. Bark 
brown, fairly smooth ; when cut, light brown, 7-in. thick on a 
tree with a barrel diameter of 1 ft. 9 in. Sapwood white. 
Young shoots pubescent. Leaves alternate, on petioles 2-4 
lines (4-8 mm.) long, ovate, lanceolate or elliptical, mostly 
shortly and obtusely acuminate, a pair of lateral nerves 
prominent towards the base giving the leaf a triplinerved 
appearance ; the other lateral nerves are very few and distant, 
both surfaces reticulate. The most prominent features of the 
leaves are the one or two pairs of hollow glands (domatia) 
* Though this tree was originally named C. cinnamomifolia Benth. 
var. parvifolia by the late F. M. Bailey, the name parvifolia has already 
been applied specifically to a Philippine Island species of Cryptocarya 
by E. D. Merrill.
