94 Mr Burkill, On a collection of Plants [Feb. 10, 



Dicotyledones. 



Piper caninum Dietz. 



Pouzolzia indica Gaudich. (recorded xviii.). 



Ficus tinctoria Forst. 



Amarantus melancholicus L. var. tricolor Lam. (recorded from 

 Blanche Bay in.), and also an intermediate form approaching the 

 type. 



Celosia cristata L. 



Muehlenbeckia platy dados Meissn. (recorded VIII.). 



Clematis aristata R. Br. var Pickeringii O. Kze. 



Indigofera Anil L. 



Desmodium umbellatum D.C. (recorded XVIII.). 



Uraria lagopoides D.C. 



Phaseolus Mungo L. (recorded ix. and XV.). 



Vigna retusa Walp. (recorded xviii.). 



Cassia glauca Lam. 



Soidamea amain L. (recorded viii.). 



Mallotus ricinoides Mull. Arg. 



Macaranga sp. near M. tanarius Mull. Arg. £ only. The 

 pith has been bored, probably by an ant ; the leaves, which are 

 very similar to those of M. tanarius, bear on the upper surface near 

 the base 5 — 7 nectaries. Doubtless it is myrmecophilous. 



Cordiosum variegatum Bl. both the variegated form and that 

 with green leaves. 



Phyllanthus Finschii K. Schum. (recorded xviii.). To the 

 known distribution of this plant, — viz. New Guinea (xv.) up to 

 1800 metres 1 , Gazelle peninsula and Mioko (xviii.), — I can add 

 New Ireland, from whence a specimen collected by Barclay is pre- 

 served in the Kew Herbarium. The proportion of <£ flowers to 

 % must be very high if the trees are equally divided between the 

 two sexes. 



Schmidelia littoralis Bl. 



Colubrina asiatica Brongn. 



Calophyllum inophyllum L. 



Triumfetta suffruticosa Bl. (?) 



Thespesia populnea Soland. 



Abutilon graveolens W. and A. 



Urena lobata L. (recorded viii.) var. scabriuscida Mast. 



Hibiscus rosa-sinensis L. flore pleno. 



Hibiscus tiliaceus L. 



Sida rhombifolia L. 



Melochia indica Wall. 



Dischidia Collyris Wall, (recorded xviii.).
