Abundant in the woods in Singapore. Forms with the leaves on 

 flowering stems suppressed occur, the stems being merely covered 

 with sheaths. The lower branches of the panicle are often bulbillifer- 

 ous. I have examined the type of G. floribunda, Baker, Gunong 

 Panti (King's Coll. 718), and rind the anthers two-spurred not spur- 

 less as described.
