Stigmata are developed as erect somewhat cylindrical and slightly 
pointed. The anther-appendage is analagous to that of Doryphora; 
consequently this Eupomatia might subgenerically or perhaps even 
generically be separated (as Himantandra); the operculum and fruit 
are not yet known. This singulär plant received for specific distinction 
the name of Dr. T. B. Beigrave, who amidst the arduous duties 
of bis profession still gave as a member of the exploration-committee 
of the R. G. S. of Australia much attention, to promote scientific re- 
searches in New Guinea. 
LhotzkyaSmeatoniana. Leaves small, much crowded, tri- 
gonous-linear, rather blunt, short-hairy; flowers small, generally only 
few and at or near the summit of the branchlets; bracteoles about 
as long as the calyx, navicular-ovate, often ciliated, not pointed, high- 
connate; limb of the calix very short, turgid, glabrous, only slightly 
lobed; tube of the calyx ellipsoid-cylindrical, attenuated towards the 
summit, ten-streaked; petals pale ; stamens about twenty ; style glabrous; 
fruit very small, concealed within the persistent bracteoles. 
In Kangaroo-Island; Otto Tepp er, Esq. 
Shrub, attaining so far as known a height of 3 feet, very much 
branched. Leaves generally only about Vs inch long, appressed or 
not much spreading, shortstalked. Bracteoles nearly as long as the 
leaves, broadly membranous towards the margin. Calyx glabrous, its 
tube ellipsoid-cylindrical, its limb almost truncated. Petals oval-lance- 
olar, about Vs inch long. Stamens partly as long as the petals, partly 
shorter. Anthers roundish. Style capillary; stigma very minute. Fruit 
less than V* inch long. 
Allied to L. genetylloides, but generally smaller in all its parts, the 
leaves not so spreading, the flowers less numerous, the calyces not 
exceeding the bracteoles and seemingly always glabrous, their tube 
constricted at the summit and the lobes very much smaller, by which 
latter characteristic this new species is also separated from all others 
of the genus, except L. brevifolia, which shares further in the small- 
ness of the leaves and flowers, but has the flowers not terminal, the 
bracteoles less connected, shorther and somewhat pointed. 
This evidently rare plant is dedicated to Thomas Smeaton, Esq., of 
Adelaide, who has, as one of the leading members of the Royal Society 
of South Australia and as an independent investigator much promoted 
the natural Sciences in the neighbouring colony.
