CEYLON, Walker; Pasdun Corle, Thwaites. 
Branchlets stout, not flexuous, terete, smooth, sometimes shortly hairy. Leaves 
very smooth, greenish brown when dry; nerves 4-5 pair, very slender, ascending, 
lower almost parallel to the margin, nervules indistinct ; petiole very short and stout; 
stipules triangular. Flowers male and Jem. together in rather dense clusters, from 
Which the long stout styles spread stellately. Male pedicel {-{ in.; sepals broad; 
connectives lanceolate, as long as the cells. Fem. sepals tree to the base; style $ in. 
long, sometimes slightly thickened upwards. Capsule unknown.—The glabrous long 
acuminate leaves with very slanting nerves seem characteristic of this species. 
9l. G. Moonii, Thwaites Enum. 286 (excl. syn.); branchlets leaves 
beneath and inflorescence tomentose or villous, leaves 4-8 in. corlaceous 
elliptic-lanceolate or oblong acuminate or caudate base rounded or acute, 
nerves 6-8 pairs, male fl. shortly pedicelled, anthers 3, connectives long, 
em. very numerous sessile or pedicelled densely clustered hispid, style 
clavate twice or thrice as long as the linear sepals pubescent 3-cleft rather 
narrower than the globose pubescent or glabrate 3-celled ovary, capsule glo- 
bose slightly depressed and 6-lobed tipped with short hirsute pubescent or 
glabrate style. G. glaucogynum, Beddome Forester’s Man. 195. Phyllan-

Czvrox, Walker, Gardner, Thwaites (n. 2150). . 
A shrub or small tree ; branchlets rather stout, flexuous, Leaves 2-34 in, broad, 
Dot black or brown when dry, puberulous or glabrate above, rarely so beneath ; nerves 
8-10 pair, usually strong beneath ; petiole d in., very stout; stipules oblong-lanceolate. 
Maie ft. few in the clusters of fem.; connectives as long as the cells. Fem. fl. with 
the styles 1 in. long ; sepals free nearly to the base, hispid. Capsule 33 in. diam.— 
ls is clearly Mueller’s P. glaucogynus, both according to the number he quotes 
(C.P. 2150) and his description of foliage and style, which latter is clavate also in 
Thwaites’ description. 
, 92. G. montanum, Thwaites Enum. 286; branches and inflorescence 
hispidly tomentose, leaves 14-3 in. ovate broadly oblong or oblong-lanceolate 
obtuse or cuspidate beneath more or less tomentose or glabrate, base oblique 
rounded or subacute, male fl. pedicelled, stamens 3, connectives very long, 
fem, f. sessile, style long, cylindric or subclavate more or less hairy, 
toothed, capsule depressed globose 3-celled 6-lobed glabrous. Phyl ae

A tree, 15-20 ft. Central very coriaceous, nerves few strong beneath, stipules tri- 
angular lanceolate. Fem. sepals narrow ; style straight slender, 3—4 times as long tv 
l b sepals, narrower at the base than the globose pubescent ovary. Capsule rather deep y 
" *d.—l'hwaites describes this as closely allied to G. Moonii, but more a
