trict called Rowra. This figure perfectly accords with our plant. 
The winged ovary, or fruit, is alone sufficiently characteristic of 
the species. » 
Besides the winged ovary, this differs from G. insignis (or, as 
I believe, G. urceolata) by the smaller and more coriacous,’ 
nearly quite entire foliage, the smaller and white flowers, and 
the comparatively large calycine lobes. Both have fragrant 
flowers, and both yield a fetid odour on cutting into the wood. 
G. urceolata 1s common in savannahs and in the forests of 
French Guiana, and is said to attain a height of forty feet: its 
wood much used for hoops for casks. G. pterocarpa, M. Poi- 
teau says, attains a still larger size.
