Polyosma helicioides. 
Leaves on very short stalks, lanceolar-ovate, remotely and pointedly 
denticulated, when young beset on the under side with scattered appressed 
hair ; pedicels extremely short ; flowers rather small, very slender, outside 
imperfectly grey-silky anthers shorter than the filaments, the latter as well 
as the style slightly hairy. 
On Astrolabe Range ; George Belford. 
This plant seems specifically different from the Javanic P. ilicifolia already 
in still shorter leaf-stalks and more slender flowers ; the fruit remains 
unknown, and may exhibit further differences. Like other congeners this 
one also reminds of some Helicias in aspect.
