CONTRIBUTIONS TO THE QUEENSLAND FLORA, 
situated along the midrib at the axils of the principal lateral 
nerves forming protuberances on the upper surface and with 
orifices on the under side. Measurement of leaf-blade 1-24 
in. (2°5-6°5 em.) long, 1} to 3 times as long as broad. Panicles 
terminal and in the upper axils, very slender and raceme-like, 
generally shorter than the leaves. Flowers very shortly pedicel- 
late. Perianth turbinate or campanulate, about 2 lines (4 mm.) 
long, the obconical tube about as long as the lobes, pubescent 
inside; lobes ovate, about 1 line (2 mm.) long. Stamens 
of the outer series nearly as long as the perianth segments ; 
anthers ovate, obtuse; filaments broad, finely puberulent. 
Glands (6) at base of stamens, subsessile, ovoid or nearly 
globular, obtuse, puberulent at base, about -5 mm. in diameter. 
Three inner stamens lanceolate, obtuse, about as long as the 
outer ones, filaments broad and flat, finely ciliate on the margins. 
Three staminodia alternating with the three inner stamens 
on short broad stipites, broadly ovate, acute, cordate and 
puberulent at base, about 1 mm. long. Ovary immers«t in 
the calyx-tube, narrowly ovate, puberulent with a few mir. ate 
appressed hairs; style cylindrical, glabrous, apparently 
articulate above the ovary. Fruit black, globular, about 4-in. 
(1-2 cm.) in diameter, crowned by the small circular scar of the 
perianth tube. C. cinnamomifolia Benth. var. Bail. Cat.

This tree is allied to Cryptocarya cinnamomifolia Benth., from which 
it is distinguished by its smaller leaves containing large domatia and 
lacking a glaucous under-surface, and by its globular not-depressed fruit. 
Cryptocarya pleurosperma sp. nov. Arbor magna novellis

A tall tree, young buds silky pubescent. Young branchlets 
angular towards the growing points. Petioles somewhat 
flattened in the upper part or the leaf laminz shortly decurrent, 
3-5 lines (6-10 mm.) long. Leaves alternate elliptical, shortly 
and obtusely acuminate, prominently triplinerved, transverse
