Sogere, 657. 
Close to A. novo-guineensis Yalet.; differing chiefly in the 
acuminate leaves, the longer peduncles to the flowers, and the larger 
fruits. 
Saprosma sogerense S. Moore, sp. n. Frutex glaber; ramulis gra- 
cilibus ad nodos aliquanto tumidis ; foliis lanceolatis breviter acumi- 
natis basi in petiolum circa 3 mm. long, attenuatis papvraceis pallide 
nitidis in sicco olivaceo-griseis plerisque 6-7 X 1*5-2 cm. costis 
lateralibus pag. inf. magis aspectabilibus utrinque circa 8 marginem 
versus arcuato-conjunctis reticulo satis laxo ; stipulis ovatis obtusis 
circa 1 nnn. long. ; Jloribus breviter pedicellatis in umbellas peduncu- 
latas perpaucifloras digestis; pedunculo compresso sursum dilatato 
apice bracteis 2 linearibus circa 1 mm. long, onusto summuin 7 nnn. 
long. ; pedicellis 1*5 mm. long.; ovario turbinato pedicello sequi- 
longo ; calyce 5-dentato ovario paullo breviore ; corolla fcetida in 
toto 6 mm. long, tubo 4x1 mm. faucibus villosulis lobis ovato- 
oblongis obtusis utrinque glabris 2 mm. long, vel paullulum ultra;

Mt. Koikoko, 3000 ft., 666. 
S. novo-guineense Laut. & K. Sclium., of which a specimen has 
not been seen, is described as having, besides larger and differently- 
shaped leaves, several-flowered umbels of larger flowers with the 
corolla lobes villous on the inner side. 
No. 347 from Mt. Meroka looks at first sight very like S. sogerense, 
but its caudate-acuminate leaves are broader and have many more 
side-nerves. This may perhaps be S. syzygiifolium Valet., but the 
material is not sufficiently good to decide the point. 
Composite.

Y. arborea Ham. var. obovata var. nov., S. Moore. Folia oblongo- 
obovata subito breviterque acuminata basi obtusa firme membranacea 
supra (costa media exempta) fere glabra subtus in costa costulisque 
minute velutina 8-10x4-5 cm. (petiolis 2*5 cm. long, exclusis). 
Mt. Wori-wori, 5000 ft., 719. 
To the same var. and from the same region belongs No. 653 with 
leaves narrowing below into the petiole and thus more markedly
