Descriptive Notes on Papuan Plants. 
Inocarpus edulis, R. and G. Forster Charact. Gener. 65^ t. 33^ was 
among the plants found by Lesson at Port Doreh. Seemann (Flor. 
Vitiens. p. 70) was inclined to refer this, the Tahitian Chesnut-tree^ 
rather to Chrysobalanese than to Leguminosee. 
Canavalia obtusifolia, Cand. Prodr, ii. 404, was found according fco 
Prof. Oliver at Geelvink’s Bay by Dr. Meyer. 
MYRTACEJ3. 
Leptospermum Amboinense, 
Reinwardt in Blume’s Bijdragen tot de Flora van Nederlandsch Indie, p. 1100. 
On the Baster-River ^ Rev. S. Macfarlane. 
The plant from this locality is here drawn to Reinwardt’s not without 
doubt, as flowers and fruits have not been seen ^ the branchlets more- 
over are less angular, while the leaves are smaller and of thicker 
consistence; but in these respects the Australian species vary much. 
L. Amboinense extends to Borneo according to Korthals's collections, 
and has therefore a comparatively wide geographic range. 
RUBIACE^. 
Randia densiflora. 
Bentham, Flora Hongkongens, 155. 
Katau-River; J, Reedy, The great watercourse, just mentioned, 
was incorrectly written in the first portion of this enumeration. This 
plant, with those enumerated in the first part of the present publication, 
I owe as a Papuan one to the generous liberality of Sir Will. Macarthur, 
whose collector gathered it in Mr. W. McLeay’s pioneer-expedition for 
science-research in South Eastern Papua. 
Additional species of Papuan Rubiaceae, recorded from Mr. Teysmann’s 
collections by Dr. Scheffer in the first volume of the Annales du 
Jardin Botanique de Buitenzorg,” 1876, pp. 28-32, are: 
Ophiorrhiza Mungos, Linn. Amoen. Acad, ii. 127. 
Mussasnda frondosa, Linn. Sp, PI. 177. 
Randia Zippeliana (Gynopachys Zippeliana, Scheff, 1, c. p, 28). This 
seems to differ from R. densiflora according to Dr. Scheffer’s description 
in always extra-axillary inflorescence and more numerous nerves of the 
leaves.
