neus. The species alluded to by Roxburgh in the Banksian herbarium, with 
the divisions of the calyx “ long, slender and acute,” is probably a variety of 
G. lucida, Roxb. 
+1221. (5) G. calyculata (Roxb. :) arboreous, unarmed : leaves petioled, 
ovate, acuminated, glabrous: flowers terminal, solitary, sessile: ovarium in- 
voluered: calyx-segments ensiform: anthers included within the swollen 
tube of the 5-cleft corolla—Rowb. fl. Ind. 1. p. 704; (ed. Wall.) 2. p. 550; 
DC. prod. 4. p. 380. 
Brought from Hydrabad to Lord Pigot, and planted in his garden at Ma- 
dras ; Roxburgh. 
We are not aware that any specimens are preserved of this plant, and 
Roxburgh’s description is too abridged to enable us to recognise it ; probably 
it is nothing but G. latifolia : Sprengel refers it to G. grandiflora, Lour. 
Roxburgh places it between two species with ribbed fruit, which has induced 
De Candolle to refer it to the same section with them: for this however 
there is no authority, and had such been the structure of the fruit, we think 
Roxburgh would have mentioned it. 
+1222. (6) G.? pubescens (Roth:) unarmed: leaves longish petioled, 
roundish oval, acuminated at both ends, the younger ones rugose, and on the 
under side as well as the young branches tomentose: corymbs axillary, 
dichotomous, divaricated: calyx minutely 5-toothed : corolla infundibuliform 
(small), tomentose ; tube longer than the calyx: berry globose.—Roth, nov. 
sp. p. 151; DC. prod. 4. p. 383; Spr. syst. 1. p. 764. 
Sent by Heyne to Roth, who has given a long description of what was of 
the least consequence to be known, and omitted all notice of the internal 
structure of the ovary and berry ; the only thing certain is that it does not 
belong to the genus ; but whether it be a Hymenodictyon (to which Bed), 
after making every allowance for the terminology, it seems slightly allied), 
or a Randia, it is almost impossible to make out: of many of Roth's, it may 
be said with as much justice as by the late Bertero of Molina's Rosmarinus 
chilensis, that they ought to be struck ont from the list of species being 
more correctly described under other names. 
1223. (7) G. montana (Roxb.:) arboreous with short rigid spines : jen 
oblong, obtuse, nearly sessile, with the margins revolute ; upper side n 
brous and shining, under a little pubescent: flowers 3-6 together, fascic ed, 
springing from the young leafless shoots, shortly pedicelled : calyx with about 
5 teeth: corolla 5-7-cleft, glabrous in the throat: anthers included : stigma 
bifid: berry drupaceous, roundish ; nut hard and bony, with 4-6 parietal re- 
ceptacles.— Rob. fl. Ind. 1. p. 709 ; (ed. Wall.) 2. p. 556 ; in E. I. C. mus. 
16 ; DC. prod. 4. p. 383; Spr. syst. suppl. p. 84.——Circars ; rgh 
Fruit about the size of a pullet’s egg. 
V. RANDIA. Houst.; Lam. ill. t. 156. 
Calyx-tube obovate, limb 5-lobed or toothed. Corolla hypocrateriform : 
tube usually short: limb 5-partite. Anthers sessile within the throat of the 
corolla, oblong-linear. Stigma thick, 2-partite or 2-lobed, glabrous. Berry : : : 
crowned with the calyx, somewhat dry, with a thickish rind, 2.celled. See 
several in each cell, attached to a central placenta, either nestling in pulp Be i 
or imbricated downwards, wingless. Albumen cartilaginous. “ Embryo | 
straight: radicle terete: cotyledons orbicular, flat.” (DC.)—Small trees a 
shrubs, much branched. Thorns, when present, axillary, opposite, or vere ze 
cillate. Leaves sessile or short petioled. Stipules solitary on both sides, ae 
the two opposite ones often united by their margins into one that is er 
foliaceous. Flowers axillary, somewhat sessile, usually solitary-
