328. (2) G. pentaphylla (DC.:) shrubby: leaves pinnate; leaflets 3-5, 
oblong or oblong-lanceolate, quite entire or toothed: panicles contracted : 
petals glabrous, broadly oval: filaments linear, broader upwards, suddenly 
‚contracted and subulate immediately below the anther: ovary glabrous.—

We have not the mature fruit before us: Roxburgh says it is a pulpy 
berry, which seems to imply that it contains mucilage; but this we are in- 
clined to doubt. Allour specimens have the leaves much more narrow, and 
larger than in Roxburgh's figure. à 
329. (3) G. nitida (W. & A.:) shrubby: leaves pinnate ; leaflets 3-6, al- 
ternate or usually nearly opposite, oblong or oblong-lanceolate, quite entire, 
coriaceous, shining above: racemes simple or compound, short : petals gla- 
brous, frequently 4: filaments linear and flat to near the apex, acuminated 
below the anthers: ovary and fruit glabrous.— Wight! cat. n. 319. - 
` Were it not that the parts of the flowers in our specimens were usually in 
& quaternary proportion, and the filaments different, we should have fixed on 
this as the species figured by Roxburgh as Lim. pentaphylla : the leaflets are 
generally of the same shape and size, but we have never found them more 
than three in a leaf. The seeds have no mucilage. 
330. (4) G. triphylla (Wight:) shrubby: leaves pinnate ; leaflets 2-3, 
rarely 4, elliptical, usually tapering suddenly at both ends but with an obtuse 
point, quite entire: racemes usually compound, somewhat capitate: petals 
oblong-lanceolate, glabrous: filaments subulate from the base: ovary on a 
longish stalk, and. fruit glabrous.— Wight! in Hook. bot. misc. 3. p. 298.

ibis Ü poss; UN Nec obtusely acuminated, shining above, 
quite entire: racemes short, compound: petals oval, glabrous: filaments 
subulate from the base: ovary and fruit glabrous.—Lindi. in Wall.! L. n.

332. (6) G. chylocarpa (W. & A.:) shrubby: leaves pinnate; leaflets 
about 5, alternate; oblong, shortly tapering at both ends, shinin above, quite 
entire: racemes compound, short: ovary distinctly stalked and fruit glabrous: 
perry 1-celled, 1-seeded ; seed-coat membranaceous, glandular.— Wight! cat.

: Sent to Dr Wallich, but not noticed, that we can trace, in his List. This 
approaches very closely to Roxburgh's figure of Lim. pentaphylla: the leaflets 
are about the same size, and the fruit corresponds to his description, except 
being smaller, scarcely in the present species exceeding the size of a small 
V. SCLEROSTYLIS. Blume. 
Flowers and carpels unsymmetrical. Calyx small, 4-5-cleft. Petals 4-5. 
Stamens 8-10, alternate ones shorter: filaments broader and flat below, ta- 
Pering upwards: anthers cordate. Ovarium with 2-3 cells, (fewer than the 
petals): ovules 1 , or 2 collateral, in each cell. Style very short and thick, 
Scarcely distinguishable from the ovary. Stigma obtuse. Fruit globose, 
ccate, 1-2-celled, 1-2-sceded. Seed-coat membranaceous, veined.— 
bs with simple or pinnate glabrous leaves. 
Blume adds that the fruit is a dry berry, which part of the character we omit in 
n 
order to include the species about to be described. Amyris simplicifolia, Roxb. fl. 
nd. 2. p. 244, appears to belong to this genus.
