petiolis distinciis ; cymis axillaribus paucifloris densis pedunculis seniel 

 divisis, pedicellis e\oxig2ii\& ; Jiorihus ; capsula 1 — 4- spei'ma ro tun- 

 data loculicidim dehiscente ; seminihus oblongis pendulis basi tantum 

 arillodio carnoso obtectis ; embryone intra albumen carnosum orthotropo, 

 cotyledonibus oblongis foliaceis, radicula brevi. 



Arbuscula ? foliis oppositis 10 — 15 cm. longis his 6 — 9 cm. latis, 

 petiolis 1 cm. longis, cymis 3-floris pedunculis 2 — 4 mm. longis pedicellis 

 8 — 9 mm. longis, sepalis omnibus 2"5 mm. diam., capsulis extus laete- 

 viridibus intus pallidis 1 cm. longis his 1 — 2 cm. latis seminibus 8 mm.

This species is well distinguished by its very short cymes with 

 peduncles shorter than the pedicels and by its much shallower arillode. 

 The sepals are all of equal size, the capsules externally are not distin- 

 guishable from those of G. zeylanicum.
