seen ; but a specimen received collected at Atherton by E, W. Bick, in 
June, 1913, is unmistakably a Ternstreemia in all respects. The genus 
is apparently new to Australia.” 
In looking through a large series of specimens of this plant we find it agrees 
well with Ternstremia, and seems closely allied to the Philippine T. Toquian, F. 
Villar. 
Order MALVACEZ. 
MALVA, Linn. 
* M. nicaensis, All. Annual, beset with spreading hairs. Stems. 
ascending, Leaves with 3-7 rounded, crenate, more or less deeply cut 
lobes, Flowers blue or purple in axillary clusters on unequal pedicels ; 
bracts attached half-way up the calyx; calyx lobes broadly ovate, 
ciliate, almost concealing the ripe carpels; petals twice as long as 
the calyx, notched, ciliate on the claws. Carpels 8-10, glabrous or 
puberulent.

of the leaves, the sepals and petals not being silvery-silky, and in the 
glabrous ovary.
