Apparently this species, but in the absence of fruit and seed the 
determination is not quite certain. The specimens show a much 
greater variation in the lobing of the calyx than is given under the 
specific description.

This is not quite Franchet’s species. Its flowers are longer and 
larger. From G. ¢richotoma of Kusnezow it differs in the want of 
elongated inflorescence axes, and particularly in the construction 
of the calyx.
