Described by Baron von Mueller. 



Elaeocarpus Sayerl 



Tall-shrubby and straggling or tinally arborescent ; 

 branchlets slender, as well as leaf-stalks and inflorescence 

 much beset with greyish short soft hairlets ; leaves com- 

 paratively small, firm, conspicuously stalked, mostly ovate- 

 lanceolar and gradually long acuminated, rounded at the 

 base, remotely serrulate-crenulated, almost glabrous, their 

 costular venules prominent beneath, the ultimate venules 

 closely reticular-connected ; racemes short ; flowers com- 

 paratively small ; stalkle^s recurved, slender, longer than 

 the flowers ] petals about as long as the sepals, whitish, 

 upwards broader, beset with appressed shining hairlets 

 particularly outside, acutely fringed at and towards the 

 summit ; stamens from 12 to 22, slightly invested with 

 minute hairlets ; fllaments about half as long as the cells of 

 the anthers ; terminal bristlet of the latter conspicuously 

 curved ; pistil beset with a somewhat velvet-silky vestiture ; 

 ovulary attenuated gradually into the conical-filiform style, 

 two-celled ; torus conspicuously raised. On Mount Obree, 

 at an elevation of about 7000 feet (Cuthbertson and Sayer). 



E. Munroi, which among the numerous congeners comes 

 nearest to the new species above defined, difiers in tall 

 arboreous stature, want of general vestiture, leaves much 

 paler beneath, larger flowers, more slender style and possibly 

 also in fruit. E. Grceffei is separated from the new Papuan 

 congener by much larger leaves, quite short pedicels, some-
