A tree attaining a height of 15 m and a trunk diameter of 25 cm, its 

 branchlets covered with yellowish-brown bark, terete, only slightly striale : 

 leaves borne on petioles 3-5 mm long, the lamina chartaceous, lanceolate 

 or elliptic, often oblique, 3.5-7.5 cm long, 1.5-3.5 cm wide, the base in- 

 equilateral, usually strongly, rounded on one or both aides, the apex acum- 

 inate, the under surface paler than the upper, often glaucous; primary 

 lateral veins on each side of the midrib 6 or 7.

Very similar in general appearance to (I. triandmm, but at once distinguished 

 by the styles; much more closely allied to G. mindorense, which seems to differ 

 by having larger very nearly equilateral leaves borne on thicker petioles, by 

 having a slightly pul>escent ovary, styles thicker at the apex than at the base, 

 and pedicels of equal diameter throughout; it is sufficiently separated from 

 G. camUfuinnisc by its capsules.

Flowers axillary, fascicled, the male borne on pedicels not exceeding 

 1.5 mm in length, the female subsessile: perianth-segments of the male 

 flowers 6, ovate to lanceolate, 1.5 mm long, obtuse at the apex; anthers 3 : 

 perianth-segments of the female flowers 6, 2.5 mm long, lanceolate, obtuse 

 or swhacute at the apex, their outer surface hirsute especially on or near 

 the midvein, and the outer often ciliate on the margins; ovary suhglobose, 

 <>.() mm in diameter, 8-grooved, 4-celled, passing with hardly any constric- 

 tion into a stylar column of almost equal diameter, 4 mm long, its lower 

 half or more entire, then forming 4 lobes, all or some of which are again 

 2-lobed for nearly 0.5 mm at the apex, the ovary glabrous but the basal 

 third of the stylar column tomentellose. 



A shrub 3 m high, its branchlets dark-gray, striate, the younger suh- 

 strigose, the older subglabrous: leaves borne on rather stout petioles 3-4 

 mm long, the lamina coriaceous, elliptic-lanceolate, 7-10 cm long, about 

 3 cm wide, the base subacute and slightly decurrent, the margins often 

 revolute and when dry wavy, at the apex narrowed into an acute acumen 

 about 1 cm long, the upper surface plumbeous, the under when dry brown, 

 botli surfaces glabrescent or with scattered hairs; primary lateral veins
