flowers subglobose, 1 mm in diameter, the stylar column then almost 

 equal to it, crown-shaped, soon by the widening of the ovary much 

 narrower than it and often subhemispherical, 0.8 mm long, 5-grooved: 

 capsules depressed-globose, 4 mm long, 8 mm in diameter, 10-grooved, 

 5-celled, the seeds 3 mm long. 



A tree attaining a height of 8 m with a trunk 20 cm in diameter, 

 glabrous throughout, the ultimate branchlets purplish or blackish, angled 

 or very narrowly winged : leaves borne on petioles -±-5 mm long, the 

 lamina subcoriaceous, oblong-lanceolate or lanceolate, 8.5-12.5 cm long, 

 3.5-5 cm wide, at the apex abruptly contracted into a narrow acumen 

 1 cm long or less, at the equilateral or slightly inequilateral base acute, 

 truncate, or slightly cordate, and when viewed from the upper surface seen 

 to wing the petiole very narrowly, usually to its insertion, the upper 

 surface bluish-green, the under surface usually more or less brownish 

 when dry ; primary lateral veins on each side of the midrib 7-10.

Closely allied to G. zeylanicum (Gaertn.) A. Juss., of which I have no material 

 for comparison. To W. W. Smith, Esq., of the Royal Botanic Gardens, Calcutta, 

 I am greatly indebted for the following note. "For. Bur. 297 Gammill does not 

 agree with our (3) types of this (S. India, Perrottet's collection), it has quite 

 a different facies and all ours are besides very pubescent. G. nitidum Dalz. & 

 Gibs., (considered a glabrous state of G. zeylanicum by Hooker but not by King), 

 is still more distinct."

Arbor parva vel frutex pubescens: fioribus numerosis, pedicellatis,

 longis suffultis, antheris 4 vel 5; femineis pedicellis brevioribus cras-

Flowers in subumbellate fascicles, borne on peduncles 5-7.5 mm long, 

 inserted above the leaf-axils, a few fascicled male flowers rarely interven- 

 ing, both sexes often in the same fascicle : male flowers borne on slender 

 pedicels 8-10 mm long, perianth-segments 6, in two rows, ovate or elliptic, 

 the apex rounded or acuminate, those of the outer 2-2.5 mm long, the 

 inner somewhat smaller; anthers 4 or 5, 1 mm long, the connectives 

 shortly produced: female flowers on stouter pedicels 2.5-3 mm long, 

 perianth-segments 6, in two rows, similar to those of the male; ovary 

 depressed-globose, 1.5-2 mm in diameter, pubescent, 4- or 5-celled; stylar
