ADDENDA AND CORRIGENDA. 845 



Belonging probably to the section Sycidium. A well-charac- 

 terised species, as shown by the scarcely rough leaves, hairy on 

 the nerves on the under-surface, and by the short-branched fruit- 

 bearing branches from the trunk. — IVarb. he. 



F. subinflata, Warb., Fedde Rep. i, 76. — A small tree, with 

 a light grey bark. Branches thick, internodes swollen, the hollow 

 part rather narrow, 2^-3 lines broad, outside minutely prickly, 

 stipules 3-3/^2 lines long, lanceolate, acute glabrous. Leaves 3-5 

 crowded together; petioles /ii-- 1 /^ in. long, often rough, leaves 

 subpergamentaceous, oblong apex nearly cuspidate, base narrow, 

 rotund or subcordate, margins sub-undulate, veins asperous on the 

 under surface and slightly so on the upper, main nerves patent, 

 about 10 on either side of the midrib, much raised on the under 

 surface, not at all confluent at the margins, basal pair short 

 ascending. Receptacles axillary, in pairs or at length single, 

 peduncles 3/4-5 lines long, commonly slightly rough with minute 

 aculei. Receptacles bearing female flowers about 1 in. diam., 

 nearly globose, when mature depressed globose, about 1*4 in. 

 broad and 1 in. long, apex impressed, ostiole convex. Female 

 flowers: perianth segments 4 or 5, white, oblong; style filiform, 

 stigma papillose, broadly clavate. Seeds smooth. 



Hab. : Edge of forest on clay soil, Upper Barron, L. Diets. 



Stem light grey, foliage rough, ripe fruit streaked with red, 

 sweet. The somewhat swollen internodular twigs, together with 

 the crowded leaves, make it probable that this tree, which may be 

 referred to the section Sycidium, is an "' Ant-plant." — Warb. I.e. 



Order QRCHIDEiE. 



P- 535- — Cymbidium canaliculatum, R. Br., var. Sparkesii = 

 C. Sparkesii, Rendle in Jl. Bot. xxxvi. (1898) 221. — I haze 

 recently seen specimens of this orchid grown by Mr. J. Silcock, 

 near Brisbane, and the only difference I can find is in the deep, 

 dull red colour of the flower, which " in reflected light appears 

 almost black.'' In the " Queensland Flora," p. 1547, under 

 C. canaliculatum, I drew attention to the great variability in the 

 colouring and markings of the flowers, and, as I had not seen a 

 specimen of the present plant, left it unplaced ; but since seeing 

 Air. Silcock's specimen I think it might be placed as above. The 

 other species, C. Leai, described by Mr. Rendle, I.e., from his 

 description, I cannot separate from C. canaliculatum, R. Br. 



P- 535- — Sarcochilus, after Hillii, F.v.M., add: — 

 minutiflos, Bail, sp. nov. (Fig. 974). On branchlets of shrubs 

 and trees. Roots very long and slender, mostly white and more or 

 less curled. Stem very short. Leaves several, slender. 2-4 in. 

 long and about 2 lines broad, sometimes dotted. Racemes numer- 

 ous, very slender, from 2-6 in. long, sometimes forked, bearing
