lary, solitary, about twice as long as the petioles, 3-5-flowered, frequently 
forming a terminal eorymb : bracteoles half as long as the pedicels: sepals 
linear, narrow, covered with a somewhat golden-coloured tomentum, about 
3 times longer than the lanceolate obtuse or scarcely acute straightish entire 
petals: torus elongated beyond the glands: style clavate at the apex, longer 
than the stamens: drupes turbinate, slightly 4-lobed, bristly-hairy, not to- 
mentose ; hairs from a tuberculate base ; nuts 4, each 1-2-celled.— DC. prod.

We have before us three specimens, unnamed, corresponding with those sent 
to Dr Wallich ; these probably form his No. 1112. e and f. Of Wallich's 
1112. a. we know nothing; his b. is G. sepiaria, Roxb. (G. serrulata, DC.) 
The torus is scarcely more elongated than in the two preceding species. The 
leaves vary from cordate-ovate to lanceolate-acuminated. Flowers white. 
t*280 (4) G. obliqua (Juss.:) shrubby: leaves 3-nerved, lanceolate, 
oblique, toothed, roughish on both sides with scattered stellate hairs : stipules 
linear, the length of the short petioles: peduncles solitary, axillary, longer 
than the petiole, 3-flowered: stamens shorter than the sepals but longer than the 
petals— Juss. in Ann. mus. 4. p. 91; DC. prod. 1. p. 511 ; Spr. syst. 2. p. 581. 
Leaves about an inch and a half long. - Of this species little is known ; it 
probably is only one of the forms of G. columnaris ; or perhaps it is referable 
to G. pilosa, j 
281. (5) G. levigata (Vahl:) arborescent: leaves 3-nerved, oval, with a 
long attenuation, nearly entire at the base, serrated upwards, almost quite 
glabrous on both sides, or scabrous beneath on the nerves and veins: pedun- 
cles axillary, solitary or 2-3 together, slender, 2-3 times longer than the pe- 
tioles, 2-3-flowered : bracteoles many times shorter than the pedicels: sepals 
linear, narrow, 3-4 times longer than the oblong entire bluntish petals: torus 
scarcely longer than the glands: style filiform, longer than the stamens; 
stigma fringed : drupe deeply 2-lobed, glabrous ; nuts 1-2 in each lobe, 1-2- 
celled.— Vahl, symb. 1. p. 34; DC. prod. 1. p. 510; Spr. syst. 2. p. 57 8.—G.

Our only hesitation regarding the synonym of Jussieu arises from his stating 
the petals to be half as long as the calyx ; but as there appears to be but one 
Species known in the Peninsula with attenuated glabrous leaves, and glabrous 
it, we suspect some error in his description. 
282. (6) G. salvifolia (Heyne:) shrubby: leaves 3-nerved, oblong, obtuse 
9r acute, oblique at the base, sharply serrulated ; upper side nearly glabrous, 
under hoary with a white very short close tomentum: peduncles axillary, 
solitary, 1-3-flowered ; pedicels somewhat divaricated, rather longer than 
the peduncle : sepals linear-lanceolate, twice the length of the oblong-lan- 
ceolate entire petals : style filiform, a little longer than the stamens: drupe 
of 2 globose lobes (or sometimes 1 by Barton), glabrous ; nuts solitary m 
each lobe, 4-celled.—Heyne in Roth. nov. sp. p. 239; DC. prod. 1. p. P

ere is a specimen in the Banksian herbarium from Russell, marked G. 
glabra, Roxb.: as no such name, however, occurs in Roxburgh's works, we 
Suspect it to have been intended for G. evigata, under which Heyne sent 
Specimens of the following to Roth. But the following is G. salvifolia, Roxb., 
ŝo that it is highly probable that Roxburgh had both plants in view; perhaps, 
indeed, they are not distinct species.
