extending beyond the sinus ; the cells of all nearly four times 
longer than broad, without any appendages ; the single cells of 
the smaller anthers interjacent to those 1 of the larger on each 
side, the whole closely fitting (while the stamens are in bud) into 
one continuous mass, the pores of the larger anthers mutually 
contiguous, and the single pore of the small anther also in 
immediate approach beneath. (style very slender, sometimes 
twisted at the base. Placentas and ovules normal, Ripe fruit 
unknown. 
Biformous anthers are not on record among Vacciniece, except 
in Agapetes amblyoruidis and A. meliphagidum, concerning which 
Dr. Bcccari noted (Mulesia 1, 208 and 2(>9) similarly dimorphous 
stamens, attributing however two contiguous cells to the smaller 
anthers of those plants. I have therefore left this new species 
though reluctantly in the genus Agapetes, as the fruit also 
remains unknown. Nevertheless it would he best, to separate 
these three Papuan plants under the generic appellation Di- 
morphanthera. The five shorter one-celled anthers of our plant 
resemble much those of the Audiue genus Macltania, which like- 
wise has the calyx-limb undivided. From l). amblyornidk our 
plant differs specifically in much shorter petioles, smaller leaves 
and (lowers, and further in the calyces not being distinctly denti- 
culated, probably also in the fruit From 1). meUphagidum ours is 
more distinct, thus it has neither the prolongation of the connec- 
tive of the anthers. Dr. Beccari mentions that thc- e kinds of 
plants are much frequented by honey-sucking birds. 
At the verge of the departure of the Right Reverend Dr. 
Moorhouse,— who during the last ten years has been the highly 
esteemed Lord Bishop of Melbourne, — for the See of Manchester, 
the lovely plant, just recorded, is offered as a phvtologic souv- 
enir to this distinguished prelate, and named in grateful appre- 
ciation of much generous seutimeut extended also to the writer.
