40 ON THE SPECIES OF GLTCOSMIS. 



Hab. — Pcnang (Wall. Cat. ^377 ; Maingay, no. 282). — According 

 to Hook, f., also in Assam and Tavoy. 



A very peculiar form on account of the paraphylla and the opposite 

 leaves, in general habit resembling G. sapindoidcs. In the simple- 

 leaved form the paraphylla seem absent, at least in the only specimen 

 before me (not a good one) they are so. Hooker identifies with the above 

 Chionotria rigida, Jack, Mai. Misc. ex Hook, Comp, Eot. Mag. i., 

 155 {Ch. monogyna, Walp. Hep. i., 382 ; Koem. Syn., fasc. 1, 73), and 

 there are really many points that agree ; but in this case the species 

 would turn out to be a very marked one, for the calyx is said to be 

 very small, and "the petals little longer than the calyx," the berries 

 the size of a cherry, snow- while, consisting of " spongy farinaceous 

 pulp." 



Sj)ecies dubice. 



1. G. dtrt/olia, Lindl. in Trans. Hort. Soc. Lend, vi., 72; Bth. 

 Fl. Hongk., 51. — (G. parvijlora, Eot. Mag., t. 2416; Limonia citri- 

 folia, Willd. Enum. 4481?, DC. Prod, i., 536?; G. hetcrophijlla, A. 

 Rich, in Sagr. Hist. Cuba, Bot. i., 231 ?.) 



Hah. — China. 



Of this species I know nothing, and the figure in the "Botanical 

 Magazine " is worthless at the present time. Oliver reduces it to his 

 var. chinensis of G. pentaphylla. 



2. G. bilocularis, Thw. Ceyl. PI., 45 ; Oliv. & H.f. Ind. Fl. i., 

 500. 



Hab. — Ceylon, Maturattc district. 



It seems that much too much stress has been laid upon the 2-celled 

 ovary. The filaments are described as " multum et irregulariter 

 dilatata, interne concava." It probably will turn out a synonym 

 of one of the species adopted above. I have seen no specimens. 



3. G. chylocarpa, "W. & A. Prodr. i,, 'dZ.—{Myxospermu7n chylo- 

 carptim. Room. Syn., fasc. i., 40.) 



Hab . — Hindostan. 



4. G. macrocarpa, "Wight 111. i., 109. — (C pcjitaphylla, var. 3, 

 macrocarpa, H.f. Ind. Fl. i., 500.) 



Hab.— Courtallum (AVight). 



This species is unknown to me, but the large fruits (4-I in. thick) 

 alone would prevent me from making a variety of G. pentaphylla.
