Papuan Flora, as Mr. R. Parkinson discovered N. subaureus in a large- 
leaved state with more elongated inflorescence lately in New Britain, 
transit-forms occurring at Rockingham-Bay. Mr. Parkinson sent from 
the same island also Muehlenbeckia platyclada, Phylacium bractoosum 
and Perotis latifolia.
