disposed along the rather rigid divaricate branches”, and a 
Sumatran species too, to wit G. ciliata Jack. (Description of 
malayan plants, 1834, p. 361). This however is characterized 
by the ciliate hairs on the upper surface of the leaves, along 
the main nerves, the lower surface being glabrous, while in 
G. paniculata the upper surface is practically glabrous the lower 
surface pubescent. 
So I am quite satisfied that this new species is different from 
all species known resembling it in any way. 
Among the specimens reduced by the writer to this species 
there are some with orange-coloured (varying to yellow) flowers 
some with white flowers. 
In this point this species resembles G/. maculata Bl. which 
also varies with orange and violet, pale orange, and white flowers. 
In normal inflorescences, several of which are present in our 
herbarium, the writer never found any bulbils. But in one of 
the numerous panicles of Lérzine’s N°. 3913 all side branches 
are quite obliterated and these are substitated by small conical 
bulbils forming a regular spike. 
In another dried specimen, Lorzine N°. 4785, were found 
some ripe fruits. These are globose, with a leathery pericarp, 
with well demarcated lines between the valves, that were 
incompletely dehiscent under pressure. There were numerous 
ovate unguiculate and rostrate seeds with a crustaceous testa, 
densely hirsute. Living colour of fruits and seeds unknown.
