F, collina, Bazl. “A small tree, the bark falling off in rather larger patches 
than in allied species, but leaving the same pale-coloured patches upon the 
stem; branchlets corrugated, and when young more or less covered with 
short ferruginous hairs. Leaves opposite, impari-pinnate, petioles about 1 in. 
long, flattened, the edges thin but scarcely winged. Leaflets 8 to 5, obovate- 
cuneate, sessile, the terminal one sometimes 8 in. long and -in. broad, the 
lateral ones smaller, equilateral; apex obtuse, truncate, often emarginate, 
parallel lateral. neryes erecto-patent, numerous, often very prominent on the 
upper side which is very glossy, underside thinly hoary or pale-coloured. 
Rhachis slightly winged. Panicles terminal, about 24 in. long and nearly as 
broad, densely branched, usually on very short peduncles, more or less covered 
with a close stellate pubescence. Flower-buds globose, slightly 5-angled. 
Calyx small. Petals imbricate, ovate-oblong, thick in the centre, hairy on both 
sides. Filaments shorter than the petals, glabrous, rather thick and angular. 
Anthers ovate-cordate. Fruit echinate, oblong, 14 to 2 in. long, dividing into 5 
separate valves. 
Hab. : Ranges southern parts of the colony. Wood hard, close-grained, yellow, strong, and 
durable. Bailey’s Cat. Ql. Woods, No. 78c given as I. Strzeleckiana, var. latifolia. 
Order NEPENTHACEZ. 
(Pitcher-plant Family.) 
By additional specimens of these plants received from Mr. Frank L, 
Jardine, I am enabled to complete the description of WV. Kennedy?, and also 
give descriptions of three more Queensland species. 
NEPENTHES, Linn. 
N. Kennedyi, 7. v. 17. Fragm. vy. 154. Inflorescence (male) :—Peduncle tomen- 
tose, about 3 in. long, raceme 6 or 7 in. long, flowers dense. Pedicels about 
5 lines long; perianth-segments 2} lines long and 2 lines broad. Staminal 
column 1} line high, bearing a head of anthers about 4-line in diameter, 
The above specimens were received from Mr. I. L. Jardine as WV, 
Kennedyi, and I have no reason to doubt them belonging to that species, 
although no pitchers accompanied the flowers-racemes. 
Table showing a few of the differential characters of the Australian species. 
Stems long climbing— 
Pitchers inflated below the middle, 3 to 6 in. long, 
green; anterior ribs without any crest; stalk 
with a curl in the centre ee ars a. L. WM. Kennedyi. 
Stems shortly climbing— 
Pitchers inflated near the base, 3 to 6 in. long, pink- 
‘ish; anterior ribs winged, the wings 1 or 2 lines 
broad, and more or Jess prominently ciliate- 
toothed, without any curl in the centre of the 
stalk a rr oc ves i w. 2. N. Bernaysii; 
Stems elongated scarcely climbing— 
Pitchers narrow at the base, then cylindrical to the 
top, 6 or 7 in. long, green with white streaks ; 
anterior ribs prominent at the base but not 
winged ; stalk flexuose without a curl .., ... 3. NW. albo-lineata, 
Stems not climbing rather slender— 
Pitchers slightly enlarged at the base, 3 to 4% in. 
long, judging from the dried specimen more or 
less reddish when fresh ; anterior ribs prominent 
but not winged ; stalk slender not forming acurl 4. MW. Moore?,
