perfect. The specimens under this number in Herb. Linn. Soc. consist of two brandies 

 wMi leaves and solitary terminal female flowers: the five leaves marked B are detached 

 and can hardly be referred to G. Cowa, whilst the flowers certainly can. [Lanessun 

 retains G. Kydiana as a distinct species with G. Wallichiana, Choisy, and umbellifera, 

 Wall., as synonym.] 



8. Cr. nigro-lincata, Planch, mss. ; leaves lanceolate or ovate-lanceolate, 

 acuminate acute at the base ferruginous beneath, male pedicels \-% in., 

 rudimentary stigma 0. 



EASTERN PENINSULA ; Malacca, Griffith (Kew distrib. 854), and Maingay (Hew 

 distrib. 152 and 162). 



A tree ; branches often knotted ; bark dusky. Leaves 5-8 by l|-3 in., subcnriaceous, 

 tapering to the base ; veins many, delicate, ^-^ in. apart, inarching with an intra- 

 marginal one. MALE fl. 3-9, fascicled on short Axillary woody nodes; pedicels |-^in., 

 slender, thickened above. Sepals r \ in., fleshy, orbicular. Petals a little longer and 

 thinner, concave, reflexed above the middle. Stamens in a shortly pedicelled 4-cornered 

 compressed mass ; anthers 4-gonal, 4-celled. FEMALE fl. solitary, axillary. Ovary ovoid 

 (5-7-celled, Maingay} ; stigma 5-7-lobed, lobes lobulate, papillose. [" Fruit subgloboee, 

 with a thick fleshy stipitate discoid apiculus, as large as a walnut, bright orange- 

 yellow." Maingay.] 



9 1 G. bancana, Miguel Flor. Ned. Ind. SuppL 494 ; branchlets very 

 stout, leaves broadly ovate or oblong tip rounded very coriaceous, veins 

 numerous slender, petiole 1 in., male fl. small shortly pedicelled in dense 

 fascicles from axillary cushions that are clothed with lanceolate bracts. 



EASTERN PENINSULA ; Malacca, Maingay (Kew distrib. 158). DISTRIB. Island of 

 Banca. 



Branchlets as thick as the little finger, 4-angled, black when dry, nodes very close 

 set. Leaves 5-7 by 3-4 in., not shining, narrowed into the petiole, brown when dry, 

 nerves uniform very slender, with oblique sinuous connecting nerves beneath ; petiole 

 not very stout. MALE fl. in. diam., crowded on every node for a considerable length ; 

 pedicels in. long ; bracts crowded, -nj-iV in. long, membranous, erect, red-brown. 

 iSepnls orbicular, outer smaller. Petals rather larger than the inner sepals, orbicular, 

 concave, not very coriaceous. Stamens forming a quadrate mass, without a rudimentary 

 ovary ; anthers small, subsessile, 2-celled, peltate. I find no difference between this 

 plant and the Bauca one except that the leaves are larger and the pedicels rather 

 shorter. A vei-y similar or identical plant is found in Borneo ; its remarkable inflo- 

 rescence and bracts at once distinguish it. J. D. H. 



ft Male flower terminal, solitary or geminate, rarely 3, fruit obovoid, 

 unknown in G. loniceroides. Leaves 2-4 in.

EASTERN BENGAL ; in forests of Assam and Silhet. 



A small tree ; bark dark, rough. Leaves 2-4 by f-1 in., rather thick, tapering at 

 the base ; veins few, indistinct; petiole J-f in. MALE fl. 1-2, terminal, dark-yellow. 

 Sepals in. long, thick, oblong, fleshy. Petals smaller, slightly oblique, dark red. 

 Stamens about 40, in a globose mass ; anthers 4-celled. FEMALE fl. terminal or axillary, 

 rather larger than the male. Stamens in 4 bundles of 4-5 each. Ovary ovoid ; stig- 

 matic rays 6-8, glandularly tubercled. Fruit the size of a small plum, obovoid, not 

 grooved, orange-yellow, 6-8-seeded. [Lanessan refers G. oxyphylla, PI. & Trian., to 

 this species.]
