120 LXXV. RUDIACEX. (J. D. Hooker.) [ Gardenia.. 
G. CUNEATA, Br.; Kurz For. Fl. ii. 41: “a small glabrous tree, branches silvery, . 
spines few solitary or paired 1-2 in., leaves subsessile obovate-cuneate obtuse thickly 
coriaceous, flowers 2-3-nate white turning yellow rather small, calyx puberulous, teeth 
5 linear-lanceolate with a pair of minute ones in each sinus, corolla subrotate 4 in, 
diam., tube as long as calyx, throat bearded, lobes obovate obtuse, fruit globose size 
of a wood-apple smooth." — Ava. 
G. DASYCARPA, Kurz For, Fl. ii. 42; “a deciduous tree, spines straight sharp, soft 
parts villous pubescent, leaves 1-2 in. obovate-oblong obtuse or acute coriaceous 
retrorse-pubescent above, villous pubescent beneath, petiole very short, flowers solitary 
sessile on thick wart-like branchlets, fruit globose corticate size of a small apple vel- 
vety crowned with the tubular calyx-limb.”—Forests of Upper Tenasserim ` Prome, . 
not unfrequent, Kurz. 
G. PUBESCENS, Roth Nov. Sp. 151; DC. Prodr. iv. 883; W. & A. Prodr. 396; the- 
description is insufficient to refer this to any genus, and, according to W. & A., it is 
certainly not a Gardenia. 
G. cARINATA, Thw, Enum. 159 (C. P. 1655 in part); specimens imperfect, leaves 
sessile elliptic tips rounded, fruit ellipsoid obscurely 5-ribbed, endocarp rather thick 
woody, placentas 3.— Ceylon, Batticaloa, Gardner. This may be a form of G. coro- 
marie, with 3 placentas and obscure ribs. 
G. LATIFOLIA, Thw. Enum, 421 (C. P. 3617); this has the winged ealyx-limb of G. 
carinata, but not so strongly, and the fruit is more globose; it may be a form of 
G. latifolia (the calyx being a very variable charaeter).—Coylon, near Colombo, I. 
Ferguson.
