It is supposed, that it is this species, which Blume (Mus. Bot. Lugd. 
Batav. i. 250) had in view, when he described it, without having flowers 
or fruits, as a Stemonurus. D’Albertis’ plant approaches Lasianthera 
Australiana (F. v. M. Fragm. vi. 3 et 253), but the leaves are still 
larger, the fruit is nearly double the size, and the albumen splits into 
halves, while in the Queensland species the albumen remains consoli- 
dated. Flowers of the New-Guinean plant have not yet been obtained ; 
those of L. Australiana show naked anthers with parallel cells. 
Blume and Scheffer quote as olacinaceous plants from New Guinea ; 
Jodes ovalis, Bl. Bijdr. 30.

Near Port Moresby ; Goldie. 
A lengthened description of this species was published in 1860 by 
me in the essay on Fitzalan’s plants from the estuary of the Burdekin- 
River. To that may be added ; Seeds sometimes black. Arillus carnu- 
ient, orange-colored, clasping the inner side of the seed.
