G. subsessilis, Mart. described from fruit specimens, whilst 
Schomburgk’s are in flower only, so that it is impossible to 
compare them in any essential character. The leaves are, 
however much longer than those described by Martius, the 
branches certainly not angular, nor is the plant quite gla- 
brous. On the Rio Negro, Schomburgk, n. 962.
