G. TOMENTOSUM PROPER; a shrub 3-4 ft., leaves 3-4 in. elliptic-oblong base 
rounded or acute, sepals of fem. fl. }-} in. rather narrowly oblong, ovary and style 
sparingly pubescent, capsule unknown.—Canara, Dalzell. 
far. G. TALBOTI; a small tree, branches much more robust, leaves more 
coriaceous and more pubescent beneath 5-7 in. elliptic-ovate or -oblong base rounded 
or cordate, fem. fl. larger, sepals broader, ovary and style densely tomentose, capsule 
1 in. diam. (&c. as in specific character ).—North Canara, Stocks ; Yellapore, Talbot. 
8. G. desmogyne, Hook. f.; branchlets leaves beneath and inflo- 
rescence tomentose, leaves 3-5 in. oblong or oblong-lanceolate acuminate, 
nerves very slender, male fl. very small shortly pedicelled, sepals elliptic, 
anthers 4-5, fem. sessile in dense globose tomentose clusters, style exserted 
obconico-clavate 6-toothed villous twice as long as the lanceolate acute 
sepals base narrower than the globose villous 6-celled ovary. 
TENAsSERIM, Helfer (Kew Distrib. 4867 and 4878)? on Moolyet, at 6000 ft., 
Gallatly (in Herb. Hort. Calcut.). 
Branchlets rather stout. Leaves firm, hardly coriaceous, brown when dry, base 
acute, pubescence rather fulvous; nerves 8—10 pair, raised beneath, cross-nervules 
slender; petiole 1—1 in. ; stipules subulate. Male pedicel } in., perianth 45 1n. diam., 
sparsely tomentose, connectives very short, Fem fl. with style $ in. long. (Capsules, 
in the Moolyet specimens, rather deeply 6-lobed, } in. diam., hoary, style in the deeply 
sunk top minute. Seeds with hemispheric backs and small flat sides).—This 1m 
foliage, &c , closely resembles G. Wallichianum, but the fem, fl. are very different. 
9. G. Gamblei, Hook. f.; quite glabrous except the ovary, leaves 
4-6 in. lanceolate acuminate base acute, male fl. clustered, anthers 4-5, fem. 
sessile in dense clusters, sepals oblong inner much smaller, style twice as long 
as the sepals stout clavate truncate top 4-5-lobed glabrous suddenly con: 
tracted above the depressed tomentose ovary, capsule large sessile depresse 
4—5-lobed glabrous, style very short sunk in the depressed vertex. Phyl-

Sikkim plant).

greenish und rather shining above, brownish beneath, base unequal-sided acute ; 
nerves very slender indeed, nervules inconspicuous ; petiole very short. Male fl. 35 ™

glaucous beneath, nerves very slender, male fl. pedicelled, sepals linear-oblong 
nearly glabrous, anthers 4-6, fem. minute shortly pedicelled, sepals vey 
short tomentose on both surfaces, style exserted short columnar, 3-fid g!a-
