30 Descriptive Notes on Papuan Plants, 
The worthy missionary’s collection contains another Dendrobium of 
the section Aporum ; in this the leaves are about as long as those of 
D. incrassatum (Miq. FI. Ind. Batav. iii. 631 ; Aporum incrassatum, BI, 
Bijdr. 334 ; Brogn. Bot. Voy. Coquill, t. 42), but only about half their 
width, still in the same manner closely approximate and rendering the 
stem by their lapse serrate. In one specimen occurs the remnant of a 
solitary axillary naked peduncle, which is about long and beset with 
very short glandular hair. Whether the Papuan plant actually belongs 
to D. incrassatum or to D. anceps or to some other allied species, future 
researches must decide. Be^mnd the orchideous plants, already alluded 
to cursorily in the first fascicle of this publication, we know from New 
Guinea:

Fly-River; Rev, S. Macfarlane. 
Scheffer records Dracaena Draco from Humboldt’s Bay; but if it 
really was the Linnean plant, which Mr, Teysmann saw, then it must 
have found its way, like into India, so into New Guinea, by cultural 
introduction.
