This most singular species differs from all Ihe Austra- 

 lian species hitherto known, by its nerveless leaves, in which 

 respect it agrees with F. hyalinus Sull. from North Amer- 

 ica and F. Metzgeria (C-Miill.) from Tropical Africa.

As to the systematical place of this curious species, 

 I am not quite sure about it yet, but it seems to come 

 nearest to iUe species of the section Hyophiladelphus G.- 

 Miill. The margines of its leaves exhibits a certain similar- 

 ity with the species of Calymperes, wherefore I have sent 

 it to some correspondents of mine under the name of C. 

 dissitifoUnm Broth. On account of the character of its 

 cellulär tissue, it can, however, hardly be referred to this 

 genus. Unfortunately, only some sterile specimens have 

 been found up to this date.
