Tlie leaves of this plant on Monnt Harold are more conA'olute when dry than is 
usually found in the Southern specimens.

An evident form of this species was met with on Walsh's Pyramid. It is of 
delicate growth, with a branching stem which attains the height of 2 feet.

BAMRUSA, Schreber. 
B. Moreheadiana, n. sp. The Queensland Climbing Bamboo. 
(After the Hon. B. D. Morehead.) A rampant climbing plant scaling 
the tops of the highest trees of the scrubs, and hanging in festoons 
from the branches, probably the stems extending 200 or more feet in 
length. The largest diameter of stem measured 2 in., the hollow or 
pipe about one-third of its diameter ; length of internode, under 1 
ft. ; the whole plant more or less clothed with dark-coloured bristle- 
like hairs or scales ; stem-buds hemispheric, f in. diameter ; stem- 
leaves with a lance-like lamina 2 or 3 in. long ; the leafy shoots, which 
are numerous from the upper nodes, are much flattened, and the 
lamina of leaf measures from 6 to 10 in. long and from 1 to 2 in. 
broad, glabrous, with 6 or 7 parallel nerves on each side of the midrib, 
ending in filiform points, the margins entire except for a few distant 
minute teeth. 
Hab. : Harvey's Creek, Russell Eiver, 
Already Baron von Mueller, in the Anst. Journ. of Pharm., 1886, drew atten- 
tion to a Queensland species of Bamhusa, but the specimens and the collector's notes 
he thought insuiHcient to name the species ; and even now, not having seen the 
inflorescence, by some it may be deemed too early to have given to it specific distinc- 
tion, but the uncertainty of the flowering of plants of the genus, and that the stems 
are being put to many useful purposes, is, I consider, sufficient excuse ; and when 
the -flowers and fruit are obtained the species can then be placed in the genus or 
tribe to which it may prove to belong.
