Habit and foliage of G. multiflorum, but the flowers are much smaller, always in 
sessile fascicles. longer pedicelled, and the capsule is like that of G. Zanceolatum.— 
Specimens of this in the Kew Herbarium are named by Roxburgh G. bifarium and 
Sarugada dicocca, but whether it is the G. bifarium of that botanist’s Flora Indica is 
rather doubtful; for he describes the latter (from garden specimens the locality of 
which he did not know) as having a fleshy yellow always 2-lobed capsule, of which 
fleshiness there is no sign in his specimens. Kurz describes the fruit as fleshy- 
coriaceous, the size of a large pea, rarely 3-coccous.

A small robust much-branched species, distinguished by its small flowers, always 
round-topped very shining yellow leaves, very faint nerves, and globose capsules, 
which show no sign of dehiscence.— The Penang specimens are not in fruit, but I 
think they belong to this species.
