Hab. — We have received it from several localities, and its range 
as far as at present known may be stated as mountain ranges 
between the head waters of the Clarence and Macleay Rivers. 
We have had the opportunity not only of examining these 
fruits for the first time, but as our specimens were perfectly fresh 
we are enabled to offer a complete and accurate plate of the 
species. 
LaURINEjE. 
Bentham (B.Fl.v. 297) includes under Cryptocarya glaucescens, 
R.Br., one and perhaps more than one plant which examination 
of additional material has shown us to be worthy of separate 
specific rank. We propose to deal with one particular plant, and 
will endeavour to show that C. glaucescens, R.Br., var. reticulata, 
Meissn., is undoubtedly a good species, and that the name C. 
micro?ieura, Meissn., should be revived for it. We will now, with 
the complete material and extended observations available to us, 
describe the species. 
Cryptocarya microneura, Meissn. in DC. Prod. xv. 27. 
(Syn. C. glaucescens, R.Br., var. reticulata,, Meissn., B.F1. loc. cit.) 
(Plate xlii.) 
A tree over 60 feet high, glabrous except the inflorescence, 
which is always hoary-pubescent. Leaves broadly lanceolate, 
acuminate, obtuse, glabrous on both sides, a shade darker on the 
upper side, primary veins and reticulations equally distinct on 
both sides, reticulations fine but more distinct than in C. glau- 
cescens, 6 inches long and 1 broad; petiole short, less than J in. 
Flowers very numerous, mostly terminating in a large irregular 
panicle, but sometimes axillary. Perianth under 1 line, hoary 
pubescent, the tube turbinate, about equal to the lobes. Glands 
stipitate at the mouth of the tube. Staminodia scarcely sessile 
as in 0. glaucescens and very much more acuminate. Fruiting 
perianth ovoid-oblong, 6-8 lines long, dark, shining, faintly ribbed.
