squama ovuligera tota longitudine connata. Squama ovuligera cum ovulo connata, 

 viridis, nitida. Ovula juvenilia in statu archegoniale, oblique erecta, bracteas 

 superantia, 7 mm. longa, 5 mm. lata. 



All the measurements given are from formalin material. On a mature 

 tree in fruit small branches of the young foliage occurred up the stem. The 



? strobili were in the pollination to the archegonial stage, and may be com- 

 pared with similar stages in P. imbricalus (Gibbs, in Ann. Bot. xxvi. (1912) 

 pi. xlix. figs. 1-6). The terminology given on p. 518, /. c., is that followed on 

 the present occasion. 



There seems little doubt that Giulianetti's specimen, included by 

 Mr. Ridley in his description of P. papuanus, represents P. imbricatns Bl., 

 as Dr. Stapf had already nnmed it on the Herbarium sheets at Kew ; the two 



? cones on the specimen prove the correctness of this determination. These 

 cones were not seen by Reorders (Nova Guinea, viii. (1911) 615).

A tree, + 16 m. high, very common on the crest of the ridge, but not seen 

 in fruit ; therefore the determination must remain uncertain. Leaves over 

 2 dm. long.

Very plentiful on ridges and in the forest, showing glaucous and non- 

 glaucous foliage as on Kinabalu. Only the remains of some mature cones 

 were collected. I fail to distinguish any difference between the above species 

 and P. protractus Pilg. It is a very variable plant like other Phyllocladus 

 spp., differing according to the age of the plant and whether the fertile 

 branches occur on the old or the young wood. The series of variations 

 obtained by me on Kinabalu are duplicated in the Arfak material, and appear 

 also marked in the large amount of material from the Philippines available 

 at Kew for comparison.
