The Queensland Naturalist September, 1938. 
FLORA OF NORTH QUEENSLAND. 
Contributions from the Arnold Arboretum of Har- 
vard University No. 4 is entitled “ Ligneous Plants Col- 
lected for the Arnold Arboretum in North Queensland by 
S. F. Kajewski in 1929/ ’ The plants are enumerated by 
Mr. C. T. White, Queensland Government Botanist. The 
work is the result of about nine months’ collecting in the 
rain forests of North Queensland, particularly in the 
wetter parts of the Atherton Tableland, Mount Bartle 
Frere. and the Da intree River. The collections made 
proved to be exceedingly valuable, and the published ac- 
count adds considerably to our knowledge of the flora of 
North Queensland. 
Several genera of plants not previously known as 
Australian are recorded. These are Einorea of the Family 
Violaceae , Corynocarpvs of the Corynocarpaceae, Micro- 
semma of the Family Gonystylaceae, and Para thro pliis of 
the FamiJy Moraceae. The finding of Corynocarpus and 
Microsemma ■ was particularly interesting, as not only these 
genera but the families to which they belong are new to 
the Australian flora. 
Several new genera were described. One of the most 
striking is Austrobaileva , commemorating the name of the 
late F. M. Bailey and his work on the Australian flora. 
Tt is a viim with a large flower, and has been put tenta- 
tively in the MagnoUaceae. 
OBITUARY. 
Naturalists throughout Australia will regret to learn 
of the death at Hobart (Tas.) on Saturday. July 15th. of 
Mr. Clive Errol Lord at the early age of 43 years. Tie 4 
late Mr. Lord was trained for the profession of architec- 
ture. but early in life devoted the whole of his attention 
to the study of natural history, particularly the zoology of 
Tasmania. At the time of his death he was Director of 
the Tasmanian Museum and was associated with the man- 
agement of the Hobart Botanical Gardens. He took a very 
active part in the Royal Society of Tasmania, the Royal 
Australian Ornithologists’ Union, and particularly in the 
Field Naturalists’ Club of Tasmania. He was a very keen 
yachtsman, and did a great deal of marine zoological work 
in his private yawl around the coasts of Tasmania. His 
kindly disposition and generous hospitality towards visit- 
ing naturalists will always be a pleasant memory for those 
who visited Tasmania in pursuit of natural history studies.
