is shown by Mr. Whitmee to exist also in Samoa, while Mr. Campbell 
found it in the island Espiritu Santo. It is now also known to occur in 
North Queensland.

of the calyces is rather herbaceous than membraneous, and in a dry state 
yellowish ; like the leaves and corollas also, the calyces are densely beset 
with black dots, reminding of those of many primulaceous plants.
