Distribution.—A common coastal tree in tropical Australia and New 
Guinea. The illustration in the “ Botany of Cook’s Voyage” is an 
excellent representation of M. parvifolia, and it seems strange how it 
and the description should have been referred by the editor to the

Browniana, A. DC.).

parvifolia. The collector, Mr. Cambage, kindly forwarded a specimen 
from his material to the Queensland Herbarium, and I then pointed out
