NE. New Guinea, former Kaiser-Wilhelmsland. In Jan. 1888 he made some tours from Butaueng with C. Hunstein (see there); with some others sailing in the ‘Samoa’ (Febr. 16) to Kelana, for the foundation of an agricultural station which was discontinued as soon as July next year (cf. also sub Hunstein).

Araucaria hunsteinii K.Schum. together with Hunstein; probably in Herb. Berlin [B].
