1. G. spectabilis, Volkens & Schweinf. in Ghika, Pays des

part of a flowering branch seen), shortly stalked, thick, rigid, rough, 
ovate or obovate, }-? in. long, acute or obtuse; veins immersed, 
obscure. Flowers violet, showy, solitary, shortly pedunculate from 
above the axils of the leaves with usually two discoid glands one above 
the other between the leaf-axil and the peduncle. Bracteoles 2, linear 
or filiform, close to the base of the calyx and a little more than half as 
long. Calyx somewhat hispid outside, especially on the margin of 
the lobes, 4—5 lin. long, 10-ribbed, distinctly net-veined between the 
ribs ; lobes erect, ovate-lanceolate, acute, a little longer than the tube. 
Corolla 1}-1} in. long, glabrous except on the ciliate lobes, veined ; 
tube ventricose, slightly constricted at the top; lobes about | in. long,
