DESCEIPTIYE YOTES OY PAPUAN 
PLANTS, 
BY 
BAEON FEED. VON lUELLEE, C.I.O., I. & PH.D., E.E.S. 
III. 
The collections for this third puhlication on Papuan Plants 
were mainly obtained by the Eev. S. Macfarlane of the London 
Mission-Society, and by Mr. Andrew Goldie (an emissary of the 
great Horticulturist S. B. Williams of London), who had the 
favor conceded of sharing in the last mission-voyage, which shed 
so much geographic glory also on the toilsome and perilous 
enterprises of the devoted divines in the South-East of the Papuan 
Island. Lastly the celebrated Signor D’Albertis through Dr. G. 
Bennett’s hind mediation contributed also to the material for 
these pages. And more — ^it is delightful to add, that from all 
these investigators of the Paj)ua-land further and grand additions 
to our knowledge of its plants also may early be expected ; 
because in the now forthcoming explorations almost certainly the 
alpine heights will be attained ; these with the middle and 
perhaps also lower regions of the mountain-tiers must produce 
large numbers of endemic species among plants also, when the 
animal creation, while sending many of its forms from the 
mountains to the coast-lines, exhibited already such a startling 
display of jjeculiar types.
