TENASSERIM ; at Martaban, Wallich; Mergui, Griffith. 
Branches terete, smooth ; branchlets long, glabrous to the tips. Leaves thin, dark 
above when dry, dirty white beneath, upper base rounded, lower acute; nerves 8-10 
pair, exceedingly slender, cross-nervules faint; petiole 1—3 in. ; stipules triangular. 
Flowers in minute axillary clusters; male } in. diam., pedicels as long; sepals of 
both sexes oblong, obtuse ; fem. fl. 4, in. long, including the exserted style.—I have 
seen no capsules, and there is neither flower nor fruit in Wallich’s specimens, 
which are the only ones mentioned by Mueller, who, however, describes the cap- 
sules as above; as does Kurz, who adds that they are }—1 in. diam., and sometimes’ 
pruinose. Kurz further describes the sepals of both sexes as smooth, but they are 
hispid in Griffith/'s specimens (a character of no moment in the genus). The style 
at length becomes twice the length of the sepals. In Wallich’s specimens the 
branches are very glaucous. It resembles 18. G. megastigma. 
43. G. andamanicum, Kurz For. FL ii. 346; glabrous except the 
puberulous flowers, branchlets angular and compressed, leaves 3-4 in. thin 
orbieular ovate or broadly elliptic-oblong glaucous beneath, male fl. small 
on short slender pedicels, sepals oblong obtuse puberulous, anthers 3, fem. 
fl. minute clustered sessile, style thick conical truncate nearly as broad as 
the tomentose 4—6-celled ovary tip 5-6-lobed, capsule large much depressed 
strongly 8-12-lobed hispidly pubescent, style very small conical sunk in the 
intruded crown. 
SOUTH ANDAMAN ISLANDS; rare, Kurz. 
An evergreen tree; branchlets long, stout, and leaves grey-black when dry. 
Leaves very glaucous beneath, base rounded or suddenly acute ; nerves 5-7 pair, very 
slender, arched, nervules few distant; petiole } in., rather slender; stipules subulate. 
Male pedicels X in ; perianth 54, in. diam.; connectives acute. Capsules sessile, 
}—} in. diam., thinly crustaceous, crown sunk. Seeds large, red, irregularly trigo- 
nously ovoid. 
44. G. velutinum, Wight Ic. t. 1907/2; branches petioles leaves 
beneath and inflorescence more or less (sometimes densely) pubescent or 
tomentose, leaves 2-5 in. from orbicular to ovate elliptic or oblong obtuse 
or subacute rarely narrower and acuminate, male fl. shortly pedicelled, 
sepals sparsely hairy, anthers 3, fem, subsessile or very shortly pedicelled, 
sepals oblong, style stout enlarged at the truncate toothed tip and 4-7- 
celled ovarv tomentose, capsule depressed globose 4-7-celled and lobed 
pubescent, style short in the depressed top. Beddome Forester’s Man. 195.

Hot valleys of the Himataya; from Kashmir, Clarke, eastwards to BURMA

Concan to the Nilghiri Hills. 
A small tree, 20-30 ft., very variable as to the pubescence of the branches and 
leaves. ‘Those in western and southern examples are clothed with white or tawny 
tomentum, in eastern ones they are much more glabrous. Leaves rather coriaceous 
. e 
or thin, puberulous or glabrate above ; nerves rather strong beneath, as are often t 
cross-nervules ; petiole 4'.—3 in., stout; stipules triangular. Male fl. 445-5 ™ jam.; 
sepals oblong; connectives short. Fem. fl. usually densely clustered ; sepals of the 
male; style variously toothed, tip glabrous. Capsule variable, 4—4 in. diam.— 
eastern form might be regarded as a variety with more glabrous leaves ins 
flowers, approaching closely to G. Heyneanum in habit and foliage, and specim 
may be found to unite these species. Wallich’s examples of B. ovata are in a very
