These specimens may be said to be from the same locality, for 
Illawarra, though on the mainland, is in the Five Islands district, 
and opposite to those islands in lat. S. 34° 50', a little to the 
south of Port Jackson. From Cunningham’s journal, he does 
not appear to have visited them, and all his specimens collected 
about Illawarra are stated as from “ Five Islands.” The leaves 
are larger than in the two foregoing species, are shining, smooth 
and coriaceous, 5^ inches long, 2i inches broad, on a petiole 
^ of an ineh in length ; those of the specimen from Illawarra are 
smaller, and evidently much younger ; the panicle is 3|^ inches 
long, with its branches less spreading f. 
Stemonurus. 
There can exist no doubt that the genus Stemonurus, proposed 
by Professor Blume in his ‘ Bijdragen ’ in 1826, is the same as 
the Gomphandra of Dr. Wallich, although they have hitherto 
been considered as distinet ; but at the same time there is every 
reason to eonclude, that both are again identical with the La- 
sianthera of Pal. de Beauvois, established as far antecedently as 
1805, in his ‘Flora Owariensis,’ and placed by DeCandolle in 
his ‘ Prodromus ’ (i. p. 636) as a doubtful genus of the Ampe-
