Canoe Camp, 150 ft. 



Near H. macrostachya, Laut., but with sborter racemes and distinctly petiolate leaves; 

 also allied to H. grandifoUa, Laut. (not of Lccomte), 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.

 Camp I, 700 ft. 



The genus Gyrinops at present includes one well-known Ceylon species and one from 

 Buru Island in the Moluccas. Prom 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.
