dr. h. o. forbes’s new gittnea plants 
The relatively small oblong leaves and small flowers are the chief 
points about this species. 
LoRANTirACEAC.

Mt. Wori-wori, + 5000 ft., 715. Flowers bright red. No. 682, 
side of Biver, Sogere, 1700 ft., with purple-pink flowers is to be 
referred here, as also is probably No. 042 with apparently smaller 
though not vet fully-grown corollas 1*5 cm. long. Until last year 
the only known Papuan species of this section was F. suberosa Laut., 
a species with inter alia much smaller leaves and flowers. K. Krause 
(Bot. Jahrb. lvii. 464-495) has now added 6 more : from all these 
F. sogerensis can be told on sight by its larger flowers. 
Notothrixos leiophylltts K. Sebum. (AT. subaureus F. Muell. 
Bescr. Notes Papuan PI. ix. 61 non Oliv.). Sogere, 1750 ft., 779. 
Schumann’s description (FI. deutsch. Scliutzgeb. Nachtr. 260) is 
fragmentary, and the hiatus is not fdled up by K. Krause in his 
piemoir cited above. There being no authentic material in this 
country, the determination must be regarded as somewhat doubtful. 
The Forbes plant certainly is not, as F. Mueller thought it was, 
eonspecific with the Australian AT subaureus, which has much 
smaller leaves and flowers. The leaves of our plant are mostly 
6-10 x 3-5 cm.; the female flowers 2x1*5 mm., and fruits 5 mm. 
long.
