Var. /?. long-ifolia, Oliv. C. P. 3822. 

 L. unifoHolatc, very large, 7-10 in., lanceolate-oblong. 



Under the shade of trees, from sea-level throughout the low country 

 up to 3000ft.; especially abundant in the dry region, where it forms much 

 of the undergrowth of the forest. Var. /i in the Singhe Raja Forest. Fl. 

 Jan.-April ; white, very sweet-scented. 



Common throughout the Eastern Tropics. 



G. poitaphylla is an inappropriate name, as the leaves are more fre- 

 quently 3- or i-foliolate and sometimes 7-foliolate. G. arborea^ DC, can- 

 not be separated as a species. 



Specimens from Koenig are in Mus. Brit. 



Wood close-grained, smooth, yellowish-white.

The C. P. specimens of this arc poor, but there is a good drawing 

 The Mihintaie plants perfectly agree with them. Perhaps only a variety 

 of G. pentaphylla, but recognisable at once by its small narrow leaflets 

 and the very small sessile inflorescence.
