glandular-rough, much attenuated and somewhat fringed at each 
extremity. 
Lorne-Range ; Rev. J. Chalmers. Rona-falls ; Edelfelt. 
Leaves chartaceous, crowded in pairs towards the summit of the 
branchlets, mostly 3-5 inches long, |-lj inch broad. Stipules almost 
oblong, about f inch long, quickly deciduous. Expanded flowerheads 
(not counting the emerging styles) measuring rather more than one inch. 
Receptacle glabrous. Appendages of calyx-lobes about ^ inch long, 
not dilated at the end. Corolla glabrous, about | inch long. Style 
glabrous. Valves of the capsule hardly \ inch long. Seeds pale-brown, 
the extremities almost hyaline. 
This species might systematically be placed near N. Moluccana ; it 
does not accord with the description of any congener hitherto recorded. 
Wendlandia buddleacea. 
Branchlets as well as peduncles and petioles brown-toinentosc ; 
stipules broad, often deltoid-bilobed, persistent ; leaves opposite, 
chartaceous, ovate-laneeolar, short-acuminate, suddenly or gradually 
irassing into a rather short stalk, shining and nearly glabrous above, 
paler green beneath and there along the midrib as welt as the cost-like 
lateral rather distant nerves subtle-haiiy ; panicle ample, spreading, 
terminal, bearing numerous fascicles and short spikes of flowers along 
its branches ; calyx sulrtle-hairy, its five lobes deltoid-semilanceolar ; 
tube of the corolla about thrice as long as its five roundish-ovate lobes, 
bearded inside ; stamens five ; filaments very short ; anthers exsertod, 
not distinctly bearded ; stigmas three times shorter than the style ; 
limb of the young fruiting calyx nearly as long as the turgid tube. 
On the Cloudy Mountains ; Rev. James Chalmers. On the AstroJabe- 
Rangc ; Will. Armit (Jr^?<s-Expeditiou). 
Branchlets robust. Leaves, so far as seen, attaining a length of 
8 inches and a breadth of 3^ inches ; veins prominent undernealh. 
Branches of the panicle much spreading, the lower very elongated. 
Bracts narrow, acute, short-hairy. Flowers hardly ^ itch long. 
Bracteoles often shorter than the calyx. Expanded anthers nearly 
clhpsoid. Ripe fruit not obtained.
