As the $ plant of the type was alone collected, I add the description 

 of the (J flower : 



Pedunculi glabri, 2 cm. longi, quisque flores tres ad apicem gerens quorum intcr- 

 medius sessiles. Calyx campanulatus, 4-dentatus, sericeus, 1'5 mm. longus. CoroUce 

 sericeo-villosse, intus glabree, tubus graciles, leviter incurvus, 2 cm. longus, limbi lobi 

 crassi, acuti, 2 mm. longi. Antlieras lineares 4 mm. longse, basi bifidi, lobis obtusis, 

 filamenta brevia, supra medium corolla? affixa, inclusa (apicem ipsem solum exsqrte). 

 Ovarium subobsoletum ; stylus 5'5 mm. longus, hirsutus ; stigmato bilobato. 

 glabro. 



This plant agrees with the above in the peculiar shape, texture, and 

 venation of the leaves, though the latter in this case are more rounded to 

 semicordate at the base. In size they agree uniformly with Wern ham's 

 var. acuminatisfdma, which I cannot separate from the type, the reduced 

 size of the leaves not uniform in Klo?s's specimen, but well-marked in the 

 Arfak plants being no doubt correlated with the higher altitude. L. S. G.] 



PSYCHOTJRIA sp., resembles P. SARMENTOSA Bl. 



Arfak Alts., S.W. ridge, running up to Angi lakes, 8000'. Fl. Dec. 

 5527. Epiphytic in forest by ? lake, 7000'. Fl. 5930. 



"Shrub to small tree, flowers white." In the absence of stipules and 

 fruit the species cannot be more closely determined. 



MYKMEDOMA ARFAKIANA Becc. Malesia, ii. 94. 



Arfak Mts., Koebre Mt., in upper forest and on open summit, 8500 9000'. 

 Fl. Dec. 5639. 



Distrib. New Guinea (D.N.W., Hatam, Mt. Arfak, Beccari (epiphyte) : 

 Angi lakes, Gjellerup). 



"Terrestrial. Most grotesque plants, over ] m. high, with often a lateral 

 branch at right angles to main shoot 1 m. in length. Large slate-blue 

 flowers up the stem ( PI. 3. fig. 6). The same species, judging from the colour 

 and size of the flowers, was also very abundant as an epiphyte, showing no 

 peculiarities in size and habit (PL 2. fig. 4). I saw one or two of these 

 plants on the ground on Koebre, fallen from trees the branches of which had 

 been singed in the annual burning. Possibly these plants, continuing their 

 existence under more favourable circumstances, develop into the monstrous 

 forms described above." 



MORINDA sp., a/. M. UMBELLATA L. 



Arfak Mts., Angi lakes, Koebre Mt., twining in forest, 8000'. Fr. 

 Dec. 5636. 



This species resembles very much the Australian M. jasminoides Cunn. 



GALIUM JAVANICUM Bl., var. 



Arfak Mts., Angi lakes, creeping in open marsh and on banks by $ lake, 

 7000'. Fl. Dec. 5917.
