30 RECORDS OF OBSERVATIONS ON SIR WILLIAM MACGREGOR’S 
Euphrasia Brown. F.v. M., Fragmenta Phytographie Australiz, V.88 (1865). 
Mount Victoria. 
The specimens respond to the rather dwarf form with short leaves, abbreviated 
spike, merely ciliolated anthers and minute stigma, which variety constitutes the 
E. striata, and is almost restricted in Australia to alpine regions. The corolla of the 
Papuan plant is much beset with very short hairlets, and has a narrow-cylindric 
tube ; but these characteristics can also be observed in Australian individual plants. 
Trigonotis Haacket. 
Ascendant or erect; leaves copious, from linear-to elongate-lanceolar or the lower 
more ovate, broadly sessile, slightly recurved at the margin, the upper side as well as 
the branches and inflorescence extensively beset with rigid closely appressed hairlets, 
the lower side almost glabrous ; racemes terminal, corymbiform ; pedicels about as 
long as the calyx or soon somewhat longer ; segments of the calyx almost lanceolar ; 
corolla glabrous, its tube equalling in length the calyx, cylindric, its lobes nearly 
orbicular, about as long as the tube, its orificial scalelets closely beset with subtle 
hairlets and at the margin incurved ; anthers ellipsoid ; style very short, stoutish, as 
well as the ovulary glabrous; stigma truncate; fruitlets disjointed, erect, basifixed, 
thinly margined, black, almost smooth, somewhat shining, posteriorly conrpressed. 
Mount Victoria. 
Root perennial. Stems several, a foot or less long, sometimes much shortened, 
as well as the branches rather robust. Leaves usually from three-quarters to 
one and a half inches long, mostly crowded. Racemes one to two inches long, 
devoid of bracts, short-pedunculate. Pedicels close to each other. Calyx about 
one-sixth of an inch long. Colour of corolla here unascertainable, its lobes over- 
lapping before expansion without any contortion. Stamens enelosed, inserted near 
the middle of the corolla-tube ; filaments extremely short; anthers glabrous, above 
the base fixed. Disk depressed, almost entire, glabrous. Fruitlets nearly one-tenth 
of an inch long, trigonous, somewhat longer than broad. This Papuan species is 
more robust than T. ovalifolia, T. multicaulis, T. microcarpa and T. rotundifolia, 
differing also widely in foliage from these and indeed also the few other congeners. 
The specific name of this Myosotis-like plant, emblematic of remembrance, is chosen 
in honour of Dr. Wilhelm Haacke, who for some years was engaged in zoologic 
researches on our shores, who was Naturalist to the Expedition sent to Southern 
New Guinea by the Royal Geographic Society of Australia four years ago, and who 
now co-operates with Dr. A. K. Brehm in elaborating a new and enlarged edition of 
the “ Illustrirte Thier-Leben ” of that distinguished author.
