Type specimen 12078, A. D. E. Elmer, Magallanes (Mt. 
Giting-giting), Province of Capiz, Island of Sibuyan, March, 
1910. 
A fine slender tree scattered here and there in red soil 
packed between rocks of rather well drained woods along 
the trail to Espafia at 1750 feet. 
It is separated from G. philippinensis Merr. in having 
much thicker glabrous leaves and stipules. To this species 
more properly belongs Forestry Bureau numbers 18725 col- 
lected by Darling at Paracale, and 12836 by Rosenbluth from 
Samar; also 1713 Cuming from the same island. Mr. Merrill 
writes of his type as a young specimen, yet it has flowers 
and fruits. The pilose character on number 5216, the type 
for the genus and species, is not a character of our specimens.
