Canoe Camp, 150 ft. 
Near H. macrostachya, Laut., but with shorter racemes and distinctly petiolate leaves; 
also allied to H. grandifolia, Laut. (not of Lecomte), but the leaves are smaller and long- 
petioled, the pedicels longer, and the flowers glabrous. The anthers appear to open and 
to shed their pollen in bud. From H. macrostachya, Laut. it differs in the shorter 
raceme and the longer petiole.

The genus Gyrinops at present includes one well-known Ceylon species and one from 
Buru Island in the Moluccas. From these this species differs in its smaller flowers, 
narrow willow-like foliage, and in the scales of the perianth-tube, which are smaller and 
do not form a conspicuous ring. The perianth-tube has the shape of that of Aquilaria, 
being short and dilated, not elongate and cylindric.
