Though the specimens of this plant in the Linnean Society's Herbarium exhibit 

 neither fruit nor flowers, we have thought it right to give a description of the spe- 

 cies, which is not nearly related to any other with which we are acquainted within 

 our limits, except the following, to which it is apparently very closely allied, though 

 quite distinct. It is also, to all appearance, very near G. macrophylla, Blume (El. 

 Jav»), from which it differs chiefly by its smaller leaves, which are more silvery and 

 less hairy beneath. Its evident close* relationship to that species induces us to trans- 

 fer it from Uvaria to Guatteria, a step which we should otherwise have hesitated 

 to take till better materials were available.

 basi rotundatis, floribus monoicis secus ramos subsessilibus fascicidatis 

 uiinutis, fasciculis oppositifoliis, carpellis oblongis breviter pedieellatis.
