Dry hilly districts of WESTERN, CENTRAL and SOUTH-WESTERN Invi, from the N. 
W. Hoaraya, in Garwhal only, ascending to 3000 ft., southwards to Benar and W, 
Benoa; absent to the eastward of those limits, 
A small tree with woody resinous branchlets as thick as the little finger. Leaves 
greenish, 4-8 in. long and sometimes almost as broad; nerves about 12 pair, axils 
glandular-hairy beneath; stipules large, tumid, connate, often split or toothed. 
Flowers solitary or 2-nate, subsessile, white changing to yellow, fragrant. Calyw-limb 
campanulate; segments 5-9, unequal, recurved. Coro/la-tube 2-3 in., pubescent or

beaked by the calyx-limb, greenish, speckled; endocarp woody, shining within. — 
` Roxburgh's drawing represents the calyx-teeth as very small, short and obtuse, and 
his description (Fl. Ind. 1. c.) says calyx small, irregularly divided; my specimens in 
Herb. Wallich have tecth long and subulate. (See G. enneandra at end of genus ) 
** Calyx-limb tubular obconic or campanulate, 1-5 in., truncate toothed or 
sinuate, entire or split on one or both sides.
