 Hab. Near Caltura and Colombo. 



3. G. Coriati, Dun. (H.f. et T., 1. c. p. 141, cum syn.)— c.P. 1034.

 5 lin. lata, Iscvia, fusca, aiilco undulato circumcincta. 



5. G. persiceefolia, H.f. et T,, I.e. p. 140. 



This species, found by Captain Champion near Galle, I have never been so fortu- 

 nate as to meet with. It would appear, from the description in 'Flora ludica/ to 

 bear considerable resemblance to Folyalthia Moonii.

I have not yet met with this species^ nor are there any specimens of it in this 

 Herbarium; so I can add nothing io the description given of it in 'Flora Indica.'

Vars. a and |Q {c,v, 194) ; ramulis folii^qn.Q junioribus parce strigosia. 



Var. y. tomentosa (c.P, 1036) ; ramuUs fuliisque subtus plus minus

Hab. Central Province, at an elevation of 1500 to 3000 feet. 



The extreme forms of the above varieties look very distinct, but they pass into 

 each other by such insensible gradations, that it is quite impossible to separate them 

 by well-defined characters. The smaU exterior petals vary from being snbequal to 

 neariy three times the length of the sepals ; the carpels, too, are either subsessile or 

 on pedicels nearly two hnes in length. The leaves are occasionally snbrotund and 

 cordate al llie base.
