Hab. Eeigam Corle, at no great elevation. 



Folia 4-8 poll, longa, \-Z\ poll, lata, petiolo 4-8 lin. longo. 



This species, with G. Wightiana and G, affiym, forms an approach to the next 

 genus, the albumen of their seeds being less evidently ruminate than in the otne 

 species of Grumilea herein described, and more or less sulcate by the intrusion o 

 folds of the testa. It would perhnps be most desirable to form of Grumilea a sec- 

 tion of Fsycliolrla, seeing that it is quite impossible to determine, in the absence o 

 tolerably mature fruit, to which of the two genera certain plants should be referre -
