A very distinct species, which I insert in this place solely on 

 account of its great resemblance to G. angxistifolia, Lindl.

This species is very nearly allied to G. trifoliata, and I have kept it 

 up for two reasons — first, because the material before me is incomplete ; 

 and, ^secondly, the equally linear filaments and gland- tipped anthers 

 may aff'ord a better distinction when taken from open flowers, whereas 

 mine came from a very young bud.
