G. racemosa. 
The tree, on which this genus is founded, agrees in many points with 
the Holigarna racemosa; but, unless we suppose some unaccountable 
errors to exist in Roxburgh's description of that tree, it must be very 
different, the superior fruit being a sufficient mark of distinction. 
I propose that my tree, however, be called G. racemosa.
