One of the commonest plants in India, if, as most suppose, the shrubby G. pehta- 

 jiJti/Ilfi and arboreous G. arborea are tin- same species. This is a point to \vhi<-h observers 

 in India .should pay attention. Thwaites, who distinguished t/i-fiarcn at one time bv 

 rt glandular ovary narrower than the spheroid disk, short depressed style as 

 broad as the distinct discoid stigma, and tin- smaller panicles, finds these charac: 

 to hold as he expected. The /i-.-//vx, which ar Q, vary i'rom 1-5-ibliola: 



the leaflets from I '. inches long, and are broad or narrow, obtuse acute or acuminate, 

 oblong elliptic or ohovate or lanceolate, quite entire or crenulate, rather membranous, 

 1 ale and ret iculately veined. Flun; rx .small, white, in pubescent panicles that a 

 variable in si/e and composition. Jicrri/ white, globose, usually the s:/.e of a 1m 

 in var. 3, as large as a cherry. 1 follow Prof. Oliver's classification of the fi; 

 varieties, to which be gave many weeks of study with copious materials at his command.
