HIGHLAND PLANTS FROM NEW GUINEA. ol 
Trigonotis imoblita. 
Stems short, erect or ascending, as well as the inflorescence densely beset with 
rigid spreading hairlets; lower leaves long-stalked, the most upper sessile, from 
orbicular-to elliptic-ovate, above nearly glabrous, beneath rather sparsely beset with 
rigidulous hairlets; racemes terminal or from the upper axils, rather slender; flowers 
quite small, on pedicels of finally somewhat ereater length; segments of the calyx 
lanceolar-ovate; corolla nearly glabrous, its tube about as long as the lobes and calyx; 
lobes of the corolla roundish, simply overlapping, scalelets of the orifice closely 
beset with very minute hairlets; stamens inserted near the middle of the corolla-tube; 
filaments extremely short; anthers cylindric-ellipsoid ; style very short, capillary, 
olabrous ; stigma minute, depressed-globular ; fruitlets nearly as long as the calyx, 
tetrahedrous-pyramidal, dull-brownish, smooth, towards the base constricted. 
Crest of the Owen Stanley’s Ranges. 
Few to several inches high. Lower leaves attaining a length of one and a half 
inches ; upper gradually shorter. Calyx hardly one-twelfth of an inch long. Colour 
of corolla unascertainable here. 
Comparable as regards resemblance to T. ovalifolia, which however has a less 
conspicuous indument, smaller leaves, longer thinner and partly axillary pedicels, 
somewhat larger flowers, distinctly margined outwards broader and not quite glabrous 
fruitlets, the latter being more like those of T. Haackei, while the fruitlets of T. 
inoblita come nearer those of T. micracarpa. 
Myosotis Australis; R. Brown, prodromus floree Nove Hollandize 494 (1810). 
Dwarf, much beset with rigidulous somewhat appressed hairlets ; leaves small, 
except at the base of the stem distant, from obovate-to elliptic-cuneate, almost or 
quite sessile; raceme short, nearly spicate; pedicels also finally shorter than the 
calyx ; segments of the calyx lanceolar, bearing hooked-pointed hairlets ; tube of the 
corolla downward thinly cylindric, lobes extremely small several times shorter than 
the tube ; scalelets at the orifice very minute; stamens enclosed in the upper part 
of the tube, anthers ellipsoid; style as long as the corolla-tube; stigma almost 
globular ; fruitlets nearly as long as the calyx, trigonous-ovate, somewhat pointed, 
shining, quite smooth, brownish. 
Summit of the Owen Stanley's Ranges among Drapetes. 
Description from a single specimen-plant almost out of flower. 
Stem weak, few inches long. Leaves one-third to half of an inch long, 
absent from the upper part of the stem. Calyx hardly one-tenth of an inch long. 
Corolla-tube proportionately very slender, lobes twisted before unfolding. Myosotis 
antarctica differs in more robust stature, in absence of peduncles, in some of the 
flowers being singly axillar, in seemingly straight hairlets on the calyx, and 
particularly in shorter corolla-tube. Description from the Papuan specimen.
