45. G. Heyneanum, Wight Ic. v. 11.29 and t. 1908 (right-hand figure); 
branchlets slender tomentose, leaves 2-5 in. thin elliptic or oblong obtuse 
acute or cuspidate sparsely pubescent beneath, male fl. small shortly 
pedicelled, anthers 3, fem. longer pedicelled clustered, sepals narrow sub- 
acute, style slender exserted clavate truncate pubescent narrower than the 
pubescent 4—5-celled ovary, capsules pedicelled depressed 8-12.lobed 4—5- 
celled glabrous or puberulous, style very short. Beddome Forester's Man.

Lower BENGAL, from the foot of the SIKKIM and BRorAN HIMALAYA southwards 
to the Crecars. 
A tree, 30-40 ft. Leuves almost membranous, brown when dry, base acute, above 
8 abrous except the midrib; nerves slender, tomentose beneath, nervules distinct ; 
petiole 3; in., tomentose ; stipules triangular. Male pedicels 5-3 in., and linear- 
oblong sepals hoary-pubescent. Fem. pedicels slender, as long as the flower or 
longer ; style when fully developed twice the length of the perianth, base hardly 
contracted. Capsules l in. diam., at length glabrous.—Very near to states of 
G. velutinum, but more slender, with less tomentose leaves, much more slender styles, 
id smaller flowers and seeds. The leaves of both seem to be caducous in 
rying. 
46. G. acuminatum, Muell. Arg. in Linnea xxxii. 68; branches long 
slender and leaves beneath hoary-pubescent, leaves 4-6 in. lanceolate 
acuminate glaucous beneath, flowers all pedicelled, fem. densely fascicled, 
sepals very unequal, anthers 3, style clavate truncate 4—6-lobed pubervlous 
twice as long as the sepals, capsule very small long-pedicelled depressed 
deeply 4~-6-lobed hoary, style minute in the deeply sunk top. Briedelia acu-

L An evergreen tree; branchlets often 2 ft. long, drooping, tips tomentose. 
Caves glabrous above except the midrib and greenish when dry, grey-white beneath 
with strong slauting nerves, nervules few faint; petiole very short, pubescent; 
stipules triangular-ovate, acuminate. Male fl. small, nearly glabrous; sepals 
ovate ; connectives umbonate. Capsules 4-} in. diam., lobes subglobose.—4A very
