Descriptice Notes on Papuan Pktnts. 31 
The species differs from 0. fcetida and O. grandifolia in distinctly 
petiolated leaves, as well as in smaller flowers ; from the former besides 
in the lobes of the corolla not being much longer than broad ; from 
O. grandifolia also in the narrower tube of the corolla and in the not 
crenulated disk ; from 0. gracilipes, which has likewise stalked leaves, 
our plant can be distinguished by its more numerous flowers on more 
robust stalks, perhaps also in fruit-characteristics, those of O. gracilipes 
being unknown ; from 0. Sumatrana the New Guinea plant is widely 
distinct in the leaves not being remarkably pale beneath, in not 
quaternate cymes, in calyces neither turgid nor angular at the base, 
nor cleft beyond the middle, in the not half-exserted corolla-tube and 
in the latter not bearing the anthers below the middle. 
Signor D’ Albertis’ specimens are in flower only ; but seemingly of 
the identical species a single specimen was brought from the Strickland- 
Eiver with unripe fruit only ; the latter thus measures 1-^ inches in 
height and 2 inches in breadth, and is remarkable for having the two 
fruitlets connate towards the summit, each being almost dimidiate 
globular in form, both closely cohering also along the inner angle 
below the free middle half. The unripe seeds are obcordate-cuneate 
and densely wrinkled. 
Mr. Baeuerlen notes, that the tree is to 25 feet high.

The plant is evidently perennial ; the corolla less than ^-iuch in 
length. Two older names exist for this species, but neither is well 
adapted. Dr. Urban maintains Ilysanthes as a genus, and unites with 
it Bonnaya, both being coetaneous.
