when dry ; nerves very numerous, parallel and prominent beneath; petiole i in. 
Inflorescence apparently forming & narrow erect woody panicle 4-6 in. long with 
short stout branches. Fruit (unripe) smooth, seated on the perianth, the lobes of 
which are revolute; valves with walls à in. thick, formed of transverse woody fibres; `

265, Miquel Ann. Mus. Lugd. Bat. i. 132, f. 4), in the much smaller flower and fruit. 
„p dncanus again has flowers very much smaller than in G. Maingayi. For the
