dr. h. o. forres’s new guinea plants 
Oils' and Benedict noticed above is dated Oct. 1916; it contains 
descriptions of no less than eleven new species of Fagrcea from New 
Guinea, but of course does not include Wernham’s three. The poor 
material of these last is a matter for regret. 
Fagraea affinis S. Moore, sp. n. Arbor magna, glabra ; ramulis 
tetragonis cortice griseo obductis ; foiiis opacis obovato-oblongis apice 
rotundatis nisi subito cuspidulatis apiceque ipso acutis basi obtusis 
crasse coriaceis solemniter 12-15 x 6-7 cm. costa centrali crassa costis 
lateralibus nequaquam perspicuis utrinque circa 12 petiolis incrassatis 
supra baud vel obscure canaliculatis T5-2 5 cm. long, lamina stipuli- 
formi rigida ovata obtusissima 8 mm. long, praeditis; cyma pauciilora 
sessili absque corollis circa 4'5-5x45 cm. pedicellis validis aliquanto 
compressis 1*5-4 cm. long, supra medium 2-bracteatis ovatis obtusis- 
simis circa 7 mm. long.; calyce turbinato in toto 13 mm. long, lobis 
rotundatis margine scariosis 5 mm. long.; corollce coriacese lactea? 
tubo angusto sursum leviter ampliato circa 3'5 cm. long, inferne (in 
sicco) 2 mm. sub faucibus 5 mm. lat. lobis in alabastro solum visis ut 
videtur tubo duplo brevioribus ; antheris fere 1 cm. long. ; stylo 
superne attenuato 4'5 cm. long.; stigmate plane bilobo. 
Mt. Gawada, 5000 ft., 550. No. 302, a fruiting specimen from 
Sogere, 3000 ft., appears to be conspecific with this. The shining 
bright green berries are globose, suddenly sharpened at the end with 
the apex itself truncate, in fact very like those of F. ampla except 
for their greater size (3 cm. in diameter). The affinity is with 
F. ampla. 
Fagrsea amabilis S. Moore, sp. n. Arbor ? ; ramulis subteretibus

trali supra impressa subtus eminente costis lateralibus pag. utraque 
mediocriter visibilibus utrinque 6-7 reticulo obsoleto petiolis sat

2 5 mm. long.; cymis plurifloris foiiis brevioribus subsessilibus 
pedunculo 2-3 mm. long. ; pedicellis ±10 mm. long, ultra medium 
bibracteatis bracteis inferne connatis rotundatis margine scariosis 
usque 5*5 mm. long.; calyce anguste campanulato in toto 7 mm. 
long, lobis rotundatis margine scariosis 4x5 mm. ; corollce tenuiter 
coriacese verisimiliter albae tubo 2 5 cm. long, dimidio sup. ampliato 
deorsum cvlindrico 4 mm. lat. sub faucibus 9 mm. lobis obloimo- 
obovatis obtusissimis 15 x 12 mm.; staminibus subinclusis antheris 
45 mm. long.; ovario oblongo 4 mm. stylo 22 mm. long.; stigmate 
capitellato-truncato.

Besides the foliage this can be told easily from F. ampla and 
F. affinis by the small calyces and white flowers.
