Contributions to the Queensland Flora. 17 
The nearest ally of the present species and one with which it 
has been in the past confused is S. Dallachii, F.v.M. Its position 
among those described in the Queensland Flora is between S. Dallachii 
and S. densevestifum. 
Prof, A. J. Ewart, who kindly compared specimens of S.largiflorum 
with Mueller’s type specimens of S. Dallachii in the National Herbarium, 
Melbourne, wrote (22-6-17): ‘‘Seems hardly to agree with S. Dallachii. 
The calyx seems to be quite different in your specimen both as regards 
hairiness, shape, and size. The anther lobes also seem to be different 
in shape to S. Dallachii. Most of our specimens have the leaf with a 
smooth edge, but some have a sinuate margin, somewhat approaching 
that shown on your specimens. Most of the leaves of S. Dallachii are 
glabrous on the upper snrface ley not all, In other respects your 
specimen is close to S. Dallachir 
Order LAURINEZ.

B. Bancroftii (Bail.), Whiten. comb. A large tree. Leaves shortly 
petiolate, glabrous, lanceolate or ovate-lanceolate, bluntly acuminate, 
closely reticulate-veined on both sides, 4-5 in. long, 1-14 in. broad, 
beset with minute appressed hairs. Perianth segments of almost equal 
length, ovate, connate towards the base. The six stamens of the first 
series somewhat shorter than the perianth segments, the three stamens 
of the second series still shorter; filaments brownish-lanuginous ; 
staminodia 3. Pistil in diacntiate flowers narrow-conic, glabrous. 
Stigma minute. Fruit about 2 in. long with a diameter of 14 in., pointed 
at the apex and tapering at the base ; borne on a fceoned pedicel of 
about } in. ; epicarp usually rough and prominently lenticellate ; en- 
docarp hard, veined ; cotyledons (kernel) white. In the fresh fruit the 
pericarp when cut emits a strong cinnamon odour.—Gryptocarya Ban-

Cryptocarya Bancroftii, Bail., was described in 1891 from fruiting 
specimens only, and Hetlachinssden lachnostemonea, F. v. M., in 1892 
from flowering specimens only. I feel quite convinced that the two are 
identical. C. Bancrofti has been recorded from several Northern
